Today was another good mail day. I got back my Crazy Big Block from the LA'er, and I am very happy with it. It is on top of the quilt on my sewing room bed. We are going next week to Iowa for my mother's memorial service, and it will be going too, as shortly after my mother passed away my cousin's husband did also, and I will be giving it to her. The backing is an oxford cloth sheet that I got on sale from Land's End, and I'm real happy with how that worked. It was really reasonable as a backing and washed up nice and soft.I'm glad that it came this week, as when I got my Bargello back, it went back out in the next day's mail, and I will be able to enjoy looking at this one for a week before I give it away.
Candace, this lovely quilt will brighten your cousin's wifes life and I'm sure she'll get a lot of pleasure from it - how thoughtful you are! Best wishes - Lurline.
I like your crazy quilt Candace, and I'm sure your cousin will be really touched that you have thought of her like this at a time when you were still grieving for your mother.
