I've decided to share a bit of a sheet too. And possibly a bit of one of the shirt's that Chico's previous owner gave me, if I can cut off enough material from it.

What a wonderful story about Samantha's old flannel sheet.....and how special you are to be sharing a small part of it for the quilt.
We love y'all bunches.
I simply HAD to come back to say that the Flannel Sheet that provided Comfort in so many situations over the years... will do so much for Sandra.
SIGH THANK YOU.. not only for what you are doing for our furends in Houston... butt for sharing the story of the Flannel Sheet and all that it has meant to YOU over the years.
