Every so often I receive an email with a link to a story that really warms my heart.

This one ties directly into the LABEL LABEL LABEL post that I wrote a couple of weeks ago.

Imagine….

You are a new quilter.

You are asked to participate in a round robin with more experienced quilters, and with trepidation ((And lots of encouraging skilled teachers at your side…))  You begin a journey that will increase your confidence and abilities while it binds friendships that last a life time.

Now imagine that lifetime ending all too soon….and for some reason your uncompleted top ends up outside of your circle of quilt friends, in a thrift shop….

Where does the story of this quilt go from here?

Terry sent me the following email along with her link:

Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for a wonderful mystery quilt with Celtic Solstice.  Mine is still a work-in-progress.  I had to get back to work quilting customer quilts.
I helped a quilty friend discover a home for a lost quilt top.  Its fun that we can use the internet to investigate and help others.

Thought you might enjoy the story: http://quiltcrazie.blogspot.com/2014/02/tuesday-tip-lost-quilt-found-home.html

Thank you for all you do for us.
Yours in quilting,
Terry Johnson

Please click Terry’s link above and find out what happens with this story.  It really touched my heart, and it certainly made me rethink what info I need to include on labels ---

After reading Terry’s story, won’t you come back here and leave me a comment on what you think about it?

I’d love to know your thoughts!

This is also an “almost” 24 hour advance notice of Quilt-Cam tomorrow night!

I’ve got samples to stitch for my taping of The Quilt Show, and I’m running out of time so that’s what I’ll be working on tomorrow --- some string blocks and half square triangle units for Jamestown Landing. 

I hope you’ll join me at 9pm EST tomorrow night, Thurs Feb 6, 2014.

Have a great evening, Everyone!
