I have 3 of them, they are my most favorite of alll, and I threaten DH if he touches them :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: |

Dear Secret Quilt Angel: Thank you for yet another hand made card that when opened reveals a place to keep my important numbers. The back has magnets so it will be very handy attached to my fridge. Great idea, beautiful card. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

I got a box in the mail from my Secret Angel. It evidently came on Christmas Eve but due to the death in our family and funeral, house guests, tons of family and friends in from all over, etc....did not check my mail box til Sunday afternoon after the last of them left. I was so thrilled. I got a Xmas card, beautiful silver book mark with angel on it in a emerald green stained glass gown, bundle of fabrics with pattern too and a Days of Tips & Inspiration for
quilters calendar for 2010. Love, love, love it all. Thank you angel who ever you are. Definitely cheered me up which nothing has since the 22nd, day my great nephew passed away unexpectedly. Love you all and a belated Merry Christmas. Sandy |

Gram,
May God be with you during this time of loss. May He bring comfort to you each day. |
Gram,
Just read about your nephew. I'm sorry. What a blessing to have your SQA and her gift to arrive just in time. Godincidence I'd say. |
Boy my SQA is really busy sending very nice cards. Got another one for our anniversary. We celebrated our 52nd quietly with a New York steak dinner, sexy mushrooms and fancy backed potato at home and DH put some romantic music on the XM radio and I lite a candle for the dinner table and turned the lights out. DH didn't know I had a candle going since he cannot see and used to have a little fit if I turned off the lights and lite candles when he could see a little bit. Guess I can make lemonaide every once in a while. LOL. I really get by a lot, I will be in a real bad way if he ever regains his sight, if ever he saw my sewing room. OH MY!!!! I really have to get it organized again. I am waiting to do it some day when he goes some place with one of his buddies hopefully for several days and leave me a car so I can disperse some of the room's contents.
Anyway thanks SQA who ever you are, I really appreciate the cards. |
sewjoyce, i have a question...hope you will see it here,
i read somewhere that you "love to hand quilt pre-printed panels.... i really want to practice some hand quilting and thought this would be more manageable than a quilt... my question is about the panels do you use any panels (like with scenes ect. printed in colors) or do you mean the whole cloth quilt panels that are available that have stitching lines printed on them? my lqs sell a few of these, they are BIG and kind of expensive... anyway...what do you quilt on? |
Wow Barb...Happy Anniversary!!!

Actually, I've done both -- the preprinted panels as well as the smaller whole cloth that only shows stitching when you get finished and it's laundered. Both are fun. You can buy the small mini (about 16 1/2" square) wholecloth quilts on line from The Stencil Company -- in fact they're having a SALE right now. And they have excellent service. There are lots of places on line that sell the preprinted (or cheater) panels. I've bought several from Fabric.com and have been pleased with them and they have excellent service as well. The cheater panels have taught me how much stitching and where it should go while the wholecloth mini quilts have helped me learn to keep my stitches even and small. Hope this helps :D |

There was 3 beautiful fat quarters and a spool of sulky varigated thread. A really fun garden book, In and Out of the Garden by Sara Midda and a bar of Pleasant Moments Glycerin Soap that smells so nice.

I got a wonderful gift today. Thank you so much Angel of mine. My husband told me in the car going to dinner that I had received something. I had to wait all the way through dinner then the grocery store then to a friends house to work on a computer. It almost killed me waiting. And in answer to your question No I will not. Thank you soooo much. These 30's repro fabrics are wonderful. This is the first brown repro fabric that I have ever seen. It is perfect.
|
Look at all the wonderful things!
I don't know if I have gotten anything as of yet. Courtney has been putting my mail on my sewing table. There is only one package from Youme in Japan. I'm sure there's something there tho. I did send out something. Wasn't sure what to send, so I hope when that person gets it, they like what it is. |
Happy Birthday Barsbus! It is so much fun seeing the packages the Angels are receiving.
|
I just got my SQA's gift mailed today.. I hope she likes it.

STOP STOP SECRET ANGEL.....YOU ARE MAKING ME CRY WITH ALL THE LOVELY GIFTS!!!!
I got another gift from my SQA.....I suspect, I am going to be crying for the next 12 months...nothing like salty tears and smiles at the same time!!!! It is almost as if my SQA can read minds, I have been thinking about doing something with mainly black, white and red... And now I have a start....might even surprise myself and have something black, white and red made by the end of next year. This is so much fun....and just think....soon it will be Feb 14!!!! |
I received a package today!! THANK YOU SECRET ANGEL!
I love the Quilting Block & Pattern-A-Day Calendar! When I get my camera working I will post. I am off tomorrow to Keepsake Quilting for their New Years Day sale, 25% off entire purchase. :) Thank you again secret angel! |
