Hug Quilt Pati update
If we're talking about the same round robin quilt going missing, it
didn't get lost at the same place as the current quilt. I received it from Pati and sent it on to the next person (in Minnesota, if I remember correctly), and I think that's where it stopped. Pati did a beautiful job on all the RRs we worked on together, and the only one that was delayed a bit was mine, but she stayed in communication with me so I knew what was going on. It was the final found, and it was worth the wait! That's why it's so difficult to understand why we haven't heard from her with regard to the Hug for Rep. Giffords - it just isn't like her, based on the experience I had in the past. Sad!
