Quilt Blocks for Jeaneane

When Jeaneane finally moves into her new home she’ll take a box of quilt blocks with her that some of you have sent.  Yippee!   Just look at these!   There’s enough here for quilts, table runners, totes and even a framed picture or two to hang in her new home.

Why yesterday a quilt block arrived all the way from France.  It didn’t arrive in time for the photo collage, but it’s in the box, ready to ship to Jeaneane.

Today we put all the names in a bowl, mixed them up and did a drawing.  1 entry for each quilt block.

Ready?  We have 2 winners!

Congratulations to Christa and Malinda!  Christa and Malinda email me or leave a comment and I’ll fix you up with either the lightpad or the bundle of fabric!

Many of you sent fabric and quilting supplies for Jeaneane earlier in the year.  Thank you to each of you too…

…and a group of quilter’s in Davis, California actually got together and sent Jeaneane their own box of treats.  The quilt group is called “The Calendar Girls”!  Thank you Calendar Girls for your thoughtfulness.  You are the best!

Hugs!

Anne

    Anne, it’s wonderful to see how many caring quilters out there who responded to your idea, and lovely of you to coordinate this beautiful effort. I’m sure Jeaneane will be thrilled and very touched by this gesture. The blocks are all beautiful, ladies, and it’s fun to see so many of Anne’s TAT blocks in the mix. Congrats to Christa and Malinda. I hope one day we will see what Jeaneane creates with these blocks, looks like she has enough to make two quilts.
    Happy Holidays :)

    Oh. My. Goodness. These are beyond beautiful – I bet you can see the love and friendship stitched into every single one of them.

    We would all love to ‘meet’ Jeaneane – would that be possible?

    We Calendar Girls received such a lovely thank-you note from Jeaneane. She’s obviously a lovely, deserving lady and we hope she has nothing but good fortune for the rest of her life. Thank you, Anne for bringing this inspiring story to us all.
