Comment: Greetings Claire! I loved the purple fat quarter you sent and I had to fight my daughter off of the purple beads. I loved the extra purple charms as well. Very nice fabric. thank you! I wanted to let you know the fat quarter inspired me to make a mini quilt as a table topper, and I can't wait to get started. It really was a beautiful piece of fabric. LOVED it!
Response: Yes I have still got some of the pansy material too. It`s very tempting to start another project. I`ll hang fire for a liitle while, as I am going to a patchwork retreat for a week, this weekend I leave..
