That’s lovely! Vera & I met at Pat’ Quilting stitch & bitch years ago. We also attended Maple Ridge quilt guild. One day I heard her say something about her friend Peachy. I told her I knew someone named Peachy too. She said it was probably the same person. Turns out it was. My husband’s mum was best friends with Peachy’s mum Dot who was my favourite of my mother-in-law’s girlfriends. Dot was a real character and sadly, she passed away in spring of 1992 from cancer. Small world. Vera is one of the loveliest and talented people I know. She is super humble about her quilting talent, but she does such beautiful work.
