We had snow today, so I did not get to the PO after school (I got done with drama club at 4:30). Tomorrow it is airborne! It looked so nice with everyone's name on it. Of course, I was lucky because kathy (khartquilts) put it all together for me before she sent it here. THAT made my life complete since I hate putting it together before quilting.

I just went to your blog and seen the photos. I will say it again, you did a wonderful job. Thank you! To me putting it together is the easy part. Its the quilting that I have trouble with. It looks great! Putting everyones name on it is special. I love it! And I am sure it will be well loved by the receiver.

I put a nice book (A chicken soup for the family book) and a relaxing CD of classical music in the box with the quilt(Of course I had a great time at Borders, as usual!) It will be a happy gift of love, relaxation and friendship from her MJF friends. Working on a group project was fun for me. Glad you all like it.

Hello all you beautiful ladies from the Winter Quilt Block Swap.
I just want to tell you that I received the most amazing package when I returned from a renewing trip south to Florida this week. I found in the mail this incredible box filled with a quilt made by all of you. I can't tell you how long I just cried while I read all the names of the participants and checked out all the fancy machine quilting designs. It is INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL, WARM, COZY, HEART-TOUCHING.
Ladies, I can't thank you enough for thinking of me. I was so bummed when I was unable to participate due to cancer treatment of radiation with chemotherapy for seven straight weeks (plus a couple small surgeies while going through this stuff). I was so tired out and spent time the last three weeks just resting in recliners and napping off and on all day when I got home. It was really tough. One thing I missed so dearly was sewing. I spent most of the week at my sister's home in NJ to be close to the treatment facility. I made lots of yo-yos, but I never even felt like doing some hand embroidery.
After my four weeks in Florida my numbers have gone up and I can feel it in my body. My hemoglobin is close to normal and so are my RBC and WBC. I can go every other day without a nap now.
Anyway, I just want you all to know that I absolutely LOVE the gift of this handmade treasure quilt. I have it downstairs to snuggle under when I lay on the recliner each afternoon. I snuggle down and napped under it yesterday. I also started the book from Chicken Soup on love stories and read a whole section. You know what I love about it? All HAPPY stuff with love and enduring marriages in there. It reminds me how lucky I am to have my husband. I have not played the music, but I hope to today when I get sewing on my Spring Flowers Quilt Block swap blocks.
Thank you so much. I would like to send you each a note, and so if you get an email from me in the next week asking for your mailing address, you will know what it is about.
Love to all of you, prayers for you all and thank you so much for the love and generosity. You ladies are truly angels on earth and have brought me so much hope and joy that words are hard to express it all. Please know I feel so blessed to call you friends.
