Happy 70th Birthday Aunty Ann

You may not be my "real" aunt but you are the best kind of friend!

Lots of love Lucy xxxx



(The words are from Leanne Beasley's block for the "Breast of Friends" Quilt in Homespun Magazine. I saw it yesterday on Maree's blog and decided to adapt it into something for Aunty Ann. I used the alphabet in the back of Leanne's book "Living the Dream" as I love how she writes and I wanted to keep the full "Leanne flavour"!)
