I had hoped not to have to put this post up just yet......
In early December Lyn contacted me to let me know that she was sadly going to pull out from the Stitch-a-long for health reasons. She was a bit sad as she had bought the fabrics and particularly had wanted to make it for her family.
A few of us said we would make it happen....... so we did. I am sorry I didn't open it up widely but Lyn wanted her privacy so she could concentrate her time with her family, and we needed to work to a tight deadline. Thanks to Michelle and Raewyn for putting down all your other stitching and doing beautiful blocks.
We did make it... got it sent back to NZ, Lyn received it last week and I heard from a friend she was thrilled with it.
I am very sad to say that Lyn passed away on Saturday...... I know several of you will have known her bloggily and through swaps..... I received a wonderful folder cover from her one year through the SSCS swap, which I treasure and use.
RIP Lyn - your quilt was made with love.... and I'm sure you will all agree that her choice of fabrics was just perfect... it looks wonderful.
Our love and condolences to her family and friends

What lovely words, Fiona. I had the pleasure of seeing Lyn last Tuesday and seeing the thrill she was getting from this wonderful quilt. We are all going to miss Lyn with her beautiful smile and hearty laugh as she stitched along with us. RIP Lyn. Xx Sue
Such sad news , how nice you were able to make the quilt for Lyn.
I am pleased to also have a beautiful note book she covered and sent to me in a swap. I use it all the time and will treasure it even more now.
My thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
I am so sorry for her family and friends' loss of a beautiful woman. Your efforts to complete her quilt made a beautiful gift to her and to her family. It's wonderful, and she had it in time. Condolences to all who lost her friendship and love.
