Craftygirl, it is beautiful! I am sure it will give great comfort to the recipient and help her not to miss her bears so much. As a hill-dweller myself (and not too far away by the sounds) I know how it is every summer....the mere whiff of woodsmoke has us on high alert, and wondering if we are next. Well done to you and your group. I am a
"lone quilter" but really should think about joining a group as it is times like these a group can work wonders.
