The goal is completed – I mentioned nothing about making a label or sending it to America. The quilt itself is done. Time to tick this one off the list (and worry about the postage costs later…) 2 years ago

The stitching is all done, there’s just the question of whether to add a label… They know who it’s from and what it’s for, but there’s the notion of it being handed down through future generations – does it matter if the maker gets lost in the mists of time?
