the mysterious Laura.........

A few of you may have received comments from a Laura (no reply)
these are a few snippets of an email she sent to me while I was away......she is from the USA
I stumbled on this stitch along around Feb 2012. I want to thank you for the enjoyment I have had seeing everyone's blocks and hearing the chatter. 
 I have had my share of struggles this year too and wanted you to know that this quilt has become my escape and means of discovering myself. So many blocks I have redrawn you may wonder if I have been working on the same quilt!
I had never participated in a stitch along before so have watched with interest especially this past down to the wire month. I am trying my best to finish with you all. I am quilting as you go so have my top finished but have to join the quilted pieces.






So thanks from cyber space.
It has been so fun.

Laura
Laura I do hope we see your finished quilt......
...only 8 sleeps to go........Chookyblue

What incredible work! Love the changes. I see we both love sunshine dried clothes and tea parties.
I wish I had thought of the quilt as you go method. This design lends itself perfectly to that method.

I love what you have done, Laura. The quilt is more meaningful for you that way. All the best with the challenges that have come your way. Take care.
