A farewell quilt





What do you do when a special friend is leaving town, moving to another island, you know you will miss her................................................????
You make a quilt! So that's what a group of friends did to farewell our friend. Knowing she loves Lynette Anderson's ' Hollyhock' range of fabric ( with a touch of wool felt ) we set to making a keepsake.
The centre block is our 'signature' block, I quilted all our names & the year & stating we would be friends forever.
