The first Christmas he was far across the country and couldn't come home he sent me a gift. It was a shadow box with the corner of his/my first quilt with some sewing needles. thread,a seam ripper and a message that was so heart felt to this day it is my favorite gift I've ever received.

hey, oklahoma suzie, nice to meet a fellow okie. my advice is ...if you get home, discover the stash support you just purchased because it was on sale and you could not resist it, is horrible and now you cannot stomach to look at it, and there went your stash allowance $$ for the whole month, don't panic. don't kick yourself. it may be horrible to you but may be a real treasure to another quilter. doesn't matter how much $$ you invested. if it triggers the creative gene in another quilter, make his/her day and pass any or all of it on. i live to see the joy i can bring to others. especially fellow quilters.
