I'd like to express deeply heartfelt thanks to all of you for your cards,
phone calls, prayers and support after the loss of my daughter Laira in January.
Each kindness means more than you can imagine. Those kindnesses and evidence of
true friendship remain important every single day as I struggle with the reality
that my daughter is gone. Although I honored my contracts right after her
passing, I was often overcome with grief and had to stop work while I was doing
appraisals at shows, but everyone was so gentle, so patient, and so
understanding. Quilters are wonderful people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11th Biennial Quilt Festival "Birds of a Feather" Friday, February 25, 2011 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM Saturday, February 26, 2011 9:00AM until 4:00 PM Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center 75 Taylor Street, Punta Gorda, Florida Judged Show - Over 250 Quilts - Opportunity Quilt "Birds of a Feather" Boutique - Silent Auction - Special Exhibits - Vendors -
