I had a knock on my door yesterday and one of the ladies from my quilt group, that sadly I had to leave due to a change in hours at work, presented me with a card and inside a gift voucher for a lovely quilt store fairly near to me - one that I use, for £25.00 sterling (don't know what that is in dollars) just wanted to share as it made my day so unexpected - will be going towards the Mariners Compass I have been threatening to do for a few years

I love gift cards. I get them for every occasion, that way I get what I want and maybe even splurge on something I would not ordinarily buy.

penski 01-25-2011 09:22 PM

well that was so nice , enjoy your surprise and maybe you can share with them what you bought by sending them a picture of the finished project

proves what I've learned from you lovely people on this board and from quilters here locally....quilters are very generous people and I hope to represent that myself.
