UPDATED

I hope this explains the truly secret secret sister project!

Everyone who took part sent me an embroidered square and a print square and I put them together for our Dennis.
It was delivered today and here he is with it.

I've just spoken to Dennis and he is delighted. (He apologises for not looking very happy on the photograph!) He is really touched that so many people care about him.

Have a look throught the posts at thei link http://www.cuteembroidery.com/den...
That will give you an idea of Dennis' sense of fun through his contributions to the forum.
None of us has ever met him, (or each other, mostly) but that doesn't stop us all being very fond of each other.

I think this was the best SS (or should we say Secret Brother) project ever. Dennis is one of our very special Cuties and it's nice to know he is still remembered, loved and cared for. Kudos to all who participated and thanks Sue. I know you spent many hours coordinating, worrying and assembling.

It was an absolute honor to be a part of this project for our dennis999.
Thank you to all our wonderful Cuties for taking part. I am sure you all got, as I did, huge pleasure from embroidering squares for a very special man. The biggest thanks goes to Sue. Not only was it her brilliant idea but the speed that the quilt was put together was nothing short of amazing. Thank you Ann for the picture. Hugs to you both. Sarah

Well, the quilt looks fantastic. So nice that Ann was able to get a photo of Dennis holding it...Sue, you did a wonderful job pulling this all together for all of us...words cannot express my gratitude for all of your efforts. The quilt blocks all look wonderful...if I didn't know it, I would never guess that they were done by different Cuties...it is so well thought out and coordinated thanks to you, Sue...I am so pleased that I could be a part of this "masterpiece"...
