What has been happening up to now
Well a lot has been happening. At long last I received the batting I ordered from Tennessee!! I laughed when I saw how big the package was. Cyrus is holding it in one of the photos so you can see what I am talking about. It looks like a fat carpet. The funny thing is four friends in different parts of the world helped me get it here. This will be yet another story I can tell my grand daughters when they are older..
In fact I have had so much support from friends and family I can no longer say I am doing this on my own. Thanks to Barish who set up this blog spot, , my mother in law gave generously out of her stash of African fabrics which she collects on her travels throughout Tanzania and Sierra Leone. The lovely Katherine helped update and edit my pictures and is also a gold mine of insight and input she offers her opinion without buffers sometimes I don't know where she got that personality trait from, honestly. Andy is just a rock and supports most everything I do (LOL). I have been very encouraged by friends and associates who have just called or stopped me to ask how it is going, which is so helpful to me. There have been many offers of assistance. Someone even offered to come and sit and keep me company while I sewed.
I have been dying fabric, altering denim and all sorts of lovely things like that. I went to London last week for a training course but while I was there I could not resist a quick pit stop into Liberty's (beautiful leafy red fabric). I called into a haberdasher's in Northwood Hills where I buy my calico. I raced there after my course finished to make it before closing time at one on Saturday. Thankfully my bags were not lost at terminal 5 at Heathrow.
Any way I am well on my way and I hope together we really can help Melisa. Sometimes when I feel like giving up I just think of her and I am supplied with the energy and the will to carry on.
Thanks for stopping
Troye
Some of the pictures are just fabric yet to be cut into squares triangles or strips

I recently met up with my wonderful friend Terri L Miller. Until she reminded me I had forgotten to follow up with her about the quilt wadding she sent to me. I had not idea of the struggle she went through to get it to me. I was so deep on the mission I forgot to tell her how much her efforts meant. Without her I would not have been able to achieve what I did with those quilts. The quality of every one of those quilts is heirloom quality. I built them to last a lifetime. 100% cotton through and through. If I didn't say it before I am saying it now Terri. From the deepest places in my heart I am grateful to you, for your friendship, for your integrity, for your kind patience and for the love you have so graciously shown me and my family. I love you with my whole heart.. Misstroye
