The Watermelon Quilt

Here's an email I received from a recipient of one of the beautiful donated quilts we gave out in Kinglake.

"Hi Jan,

Thanks for sending the contact details of the person who made the watermelon quilt. I was disappointed there was no address on the quilt because it is such a generous gesture and I wanted to thank the maker.

The strange thing is the only thing I ate from about 4.00pm on Sat Feb. 7th until about 11.00am on Sunday morning was frozen watermelon because we fought the fire all night and I couldn't actually eat so survived on water and watermelon. Was the quilt destined to come to me? I didn't choose it either as the quilts were numbered and names drawn out.

Thanks again for contacting me,"

It just so happens that I knew the person who donated the quilt and this is the main reason that I photograph every quilt I receive or finish so that if any recipients want to follow up then I will be able to tell them who they can thank. The person had emailed me with the details of the quilt and a description and I was very happy to be able to tell her who had made and donated this lovely quilt to her. I'm sure that U-M will be very happy to hear that her quilt found a new home where it will be much loved.
Hugs and thanks to all of you for your very generous and loving hearts.
