March 1 winner and April 1 prize

March 1, the day for our very first ever Angels for Ana raffle prize drawing!! During the month of February, we had generous donations from all across the country and I wish I had the time to make a quilt for each and every person who donated. The kind thoughts and generosity mean so much to Ana, I can't put into words how touched she is by everyone's support.

The winner of today's raffle (chosen randomly from all the donations received from Feb 1 - Feb 28) is a person who wished to remain anonymous when he made his donation, so I'll announce him here only as "Anonymous in New Jersey." I already sent him a note to tell him he won and the quilt will be in the mail tomorrow.

Our next raffle drawing period begins today, with the next winner to be selected on April 1 from all the donations / raffle entries from March 1 - 31. The next prize is a light-weight flannel baby quilt, which measures approximately 28" wide by 35" long. It's done in pastel blue, yellow, green and purple with a yellow backing and green binding.

Thanks once again to everyone who became an Angel for Ana in February! Please keep the comments and emails coming, it always makes Ana's day to read them.

And speaking, of course, of Ana... She stopped by for a few minutes last night. Her legs are looking so much better, I'm still amazed at all the progress she's made in just the past month. She won't be running a marathon anytime soon, but it's good to see her walking a little more confidently and leaving the house without "hiding" her legs so much. For the first time since the accident, she was strong enough to pick up my 2-year-old while she (Ana) was standing. That's a really big step, her knowing that she's physically strong enough to do that. And she smiles now, and laughs. A really happy, infectious laugh that I haven't heard in a very long time and didn't realize how much I missed. Life is good and only getting better.

With thanks and appreciation,
Kat
