Hero of the week!!
And it is another duo for the Hero of the Week! Irene Ross and Annette Read step on up..... you are heroes!
I have known Irene for a long time and through ups and downs she remains one of my best friends. We have laughed, cried and I have even sent her away with my hubby! He was giving her a ride to the coast to visit her sister.
I met Annette through Irene and now that she has moved here we are sure to see her more!
These two ladies are just a delight to have come in and shop......always happy, incredibly creative and just all around great people!
Thank you to Irene and Annette for showing us all what friendship is all about.

Started this quilt 25 years ago back east. It has since moved out west with them, been completed and taken back east again to be given as a gift at Christmas. The story of this one just really tugs at the heart strings.

Thank you Geri and Pat for the trip down memory lane and the great story!
