A Gift for Donnita

Several months ago Donnita's home was destroyed by a fire. We have had the opportunity to work with Donnita in getting our news articles published in the Farmersville Times and wanted to help her and her family. The Blue Ribbon Quilt Shoppe kindly donated a quilt top and Marsha quilted it. Karen took the quilt home last guild meeting and finished the binding. Teena from Blue Ribbon Quilts, Joan, Karen and Ann presented the gift to Donnita along with a quilt made by Bonnie, Friday, March 2. There were tears and hugs all around when she opened each quilt. At the end of our visit Donnita told us that one of the things she regretted most was that all of her grandmother's quilts had burned in the fire.  We hope that Donnitta and her family find comfort each time they wrap one of the quilts around them.

                                Below are the pictures of the quilts as they were given to Donnita.
