Devastating Fire

As many of our regular Retreat quilters know there was a devasting forest fire in the Purcell's Cove area of Halifax two weeks ago that destroyed eight homes. As many of you know, one of those houses was home to our own friend, quilter and Retreat supporter Anna Healy. She and her husband have lost everything, from treasured family heirlooms to quilts to her stash to pins and needles and rotary cutters.

Now, Anna has to make a list and show proof to the insurance company that these items were in her house. Do any of you have photos of Anna's quilts from past Retreat show and tells? Please check through what you have and if anything at all comes up please let Barb Robson know through the Contact Us form here at the blog. In particular, Anna is looking for pictures of her appliqued flowers quilt that she did through a Block of the Month class at the Hope Chest.
