Hi Raelene, Chris did a great job putting the squares together. I do hope you are feeling better. Vicki.[Elliston Eyre Peninsula]

So nice to see that smile on your face, Chris and Sue were the main two instigators of the quilt but as part of your extended family we wanted to bring a little happiness to your life and that smile says it all. Hugs Marian

Hi Raelene, I've just come onto Cute to look at the Projects and check out the Community and saw the quilt. I'm so glad it's arrived in one piece.

I posted it last Wednesday so it took less time than the lady at the Post Office at Redhead said it would. Good on you Australia Post!!

I'm so glad you loved the quilt and to have had such a reaction to it. It was a labour of love from start to finish and I know how much you would appreciate the horrible conditions we have had up here in Newcastle over the summer months. As you may have been aware I was in South Australia for a week at the end of January and first week of February and talk about hot!!!!!!!!!!

Up here in Newcastle some days it was just too hot for me to do any sewing, but my air conditioner got a huge workout. My poor sewing machine didn't like the weather and for that matter neither did I!!!

Anyway, we are all so glad to have had the opportunity to express our love for you and to let you know we care. This group is such a caring group and I'm very proud to be a member. Lots of love Chris

Raelene, what wonderful photos! You ARE loved and though of and prayed for. I've been very happy to see that you are sewing again. I can't imagine what you've been through. It's good to see you smiling.Don't we belong to just the most wonderful group ever?

So good to see that smiling face, Raelene! Special love and thanks to Chris who so painstakingly put this beautiful masterpiece together...especially during the heat of the summer... I was so grateful that I was able to be a part of this wonderful gift of love! So happy to hear you are back sewing again, too. Whenever you are feeling a bit blue, feel our love and warmth in this quilt and know that we are with you always!

What a wonderful gift. Enjoy!

We wanted you to feel our love for you. From the smile on your face it looks as if we have succeeded. Chris was so kind to put it all together and has done such a wonderful job. I hope that this quilt will always be a reminder that there is a community of friends that care about you. Hugs Angie

I'm glad I could help bring a smile to your face. And when that smile doesn't come so easily, wrap yourself up in the quilt and know that we care. Hugs*, Deb

Raelene, it was an honor for me that I could join to sew something for you. I you enjoy it and feel all the love when you wrap youself in it .
Hugs Linda

Look at your glowing face! You are as beautiful as the quilt. It's good to see you doing well and stitching again.

What a beautiful Quilt. Hugs

Beautiful pictures, Raelene, of a beautiful quilt that show such love. Love your smile - it says it all!! Hugs to you!! Laura

It's a beautiful quilt sure to brighten anyone's day when looking on it . Hope you are doing better-

God Bless you Raelene!

It was an honor to make squares for your quilt but unfortunately they did not arrive on time from South Africa for Chris to include. My squares had taken 10 weeks to get to Chris. Chris has done an amazing and probably not an easy job making up this precious quilt. Thank you also to Sue for making this possible. Enjoy your quilt dear Raelene.
So pleased to see you sewing again. Love and hugs Sarah

It makes me so pleased to see you happy Rae and I’m so glad to have been able to participate in this project of love and contribute to your current happiness.

I was lucky enough to see the actual blocks on one of my rare visits to Chris’ place and I thought our Cute sisters chose some gorgeous blocks to stitch for you. Chris did an amazing job putting it all together.
That it has made you so happy is all we could have wished for.
Huge hugs to all involved and special loving wishes to you dear friend xxxxx

Nice to see a smile on your face. All you need now is some cold weather to snuggle up under the quilt and feel all the hugs from all of the Cuties around the world.
We all enjoyed being part of it.

What a wonderful job Chris has made of coordinating all the squares & bringing them all together in this beautiflu quilt especially with the dreadful heat. So glad to be able to participate & to see your smiling face. Just know that you are loved at all times. Viv

what a beautiful and lovely surprise.

What a wonderful surprize for you.
I hope you have been well sorry that we have not caught up again but hopefully we can again some day.
I have just got back into embroidery after some time away from it as working and study so missed it and got my machine serviced to start all over again trying to remember how to do it all again especially after loosing majority of my designs that I had collected. any way onward and upward with baby steps.
glad to see your smiling face again take care
Ash
