annieb Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 After almost a year of hard work to get our blog and web site up and running our great friend, blogger and pattern designer, Dana, was tragically killed in an auto accident last Month. This was a tremendous setback for us and are just now able to start to get back into the swing of things. Albeit, without her amazing line of quilt patterns and kits. We have written about this experience on our blog and also were able to finish a quilt that Dana was preparing to create for her yet unborn grand-child. http://www.highplainsquilting.com/high_plains_quilting_blog.php'>http://www.highplainsquilting.com/high_plains_quilting_blog.php I don't mean to depress all of you, it just helps to get it out there. On a brighter note, our resident long arm quilter, Brian (www.fellowquilter.com), who won first prize at the Colorado state fair last summer, has some of his wonderful quilts on exhibit at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum (www.rmqm.org). The name of the exhibit is "Wranglers Among Us", the 10th biennial Men's Quilt Exhibit on display until May 1, 2010 Wish us luck as we move forward.

annaquilts Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Annie, I'm so sorry. Loosing someone you love so unexpectedly, is very hard to take. You have to get over the shock first, and then grieve. Don't be afraid to cry and scream and let it all out. I lost my sister very suddenly. She was my best friend and I will always miss her, but time does help. I will keep you in my prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeMoe Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Annie, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved friend. If I may, I would like to share an Eskimo Legend which brings joy to my heart each and every star filled night. "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine through to let us know they are happy." Your dear friend Dana will always be in your heart and must be absolutely tickled to see the beautiful quilt you all finished for her grandchild!

Koala-T Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Dana was a true joy to know and she had such a loving and giving spirit. I only got to meet her one weekend but I spent hours with her at her home. What a special gift you have made for that precious grandbaby. Hugs to you all!
