In tougher times we know the true friends

A couple of weeks ago I commented with a blogger friend that I was going through difficult times and I couldn't buy fabric for my quilting. She immediately and most generously volunteered herself to send me some of her fabrics. And today I received  the most wonderful present


   Sue Belleli is an Australian quilter that I've only "met" through  Quilt Blocks Swap Australia, a swap group she founded. She is a wonderful person with a great heart. Even though she never met me, and probably never will, Australia and Portugal are so far away, she didn't hesitated and came to the rescue.
I received a real rainbow of wonderful fabrics. I will treasure them as if they were gold for they represent one of the most important things in life: FRIENDSHIP. I can never thank you enough for your king gesture. You always be in my heart, Sue. Thank you very much!!!



ROSE STAR BLOCK PARTY


Last Friday I entered FNSI and began a rose star, It's English paper piecing and I finished my first one today

You are very blessed to have a friend like that. I know what you mean! If it wasn't for scraps, I couldn't afford to quilt, either. Thank goodness that scrap quilting is my passion, huh?? I love your new block. It's beautiful!
