My ANGEL AROUND THE WORLD QUILT

Here is a picture of my ANGELS AROUND THE WORLD QUILT. There were 18 girls who participated by doing from 1 to 7 blocks each.

Linda in Nova Scotia not one did the blocks but also assembled and stitched the whole quilt together.

Then it was mailed to Shari in Saskatchewan who put the back on it. Then sent it to me as a huge surprise.

This quilt's theme was BEATING CANCER because that sumer (2002) I was told by my family Dr that my tests showed I had breast cancer. Lucky and very fortunate that I was, it didn't happen. There was a misdiagnosis. I still say it had something to do with my Angels working behind the scene sending healing and positive thoughts with them.

The girls came from

England (Doreen, Marian, Pam)

Austraila (Shirley, Dawa)

USA (Leslie-Colorado (who also made a most beautiful Angle Friend wallhanging) Sandy-near Paduka, Jackie-Illinois, Laurie-Hawaii, Kim-California, Rev Linda, JC

Canada (Shari-Saskatchewan, Linda-Nova Scotia, Kerry-Alberta, Ginette-Quebec, Mary-British Columbia, Catharine-Ontario)

I will get a picture of the wallhanging ANGEL poem and post it here also.
Everytime I display my ANGELS AROUND THE WORLD, my heart starts to sing as I can feel the love coming from every stitch.

I believe, and I know I'm right, that when piecing it together for me I am sure Linda lost one of her Angel wings or did she really gain a 3rd one from the patience of putting velvet with cotton? And Shari. she made sure that everything was reinforced when it arrived so that nothing would remove itself from the quilt top. That in itself was a tremendous amount of work, even before she stitched the front quilt to the backing materia.

This was truly a labour of love, but to my and my family, it has become a family Heirloom.

Thank you again to all who participated.
