Thanks everyone, you are all so thoughtful and caring, it means such a lot to both of us :thumbup:
Terri asked me if there was any particular colours I was in need of. I mentioned that I have a project in mind for the lady that I was taking care of until John was diagnosed. I want to make Jan a log cabin lap quilt in 'earthy' tones, which she loves, so you can see on the left hand side of the photo that Terri has gone a long way to supplying the perfect fabrics to enable me to start it soon!! I am going to visit her next week and will be taking these fabrics with me to show her. Jan will be so excited as she used to do patchwork before she became ill and loves to see what I am making!!
Bless you all for your kindness and support, you have no idea how much it helps me cope with what lays ahead.....
