Yes it is my work. It is just a simple little poem I wrote to express the love that I put into my quilts.

You bet that would be okay! :thumbup:

I would be honored that you wanted to use it.

I haven't had salt water taffy in 18 years! You can bet I'm going to look some up this summer when I get to the states.

What's a few more pounds on a grammy? It just makes us softer to cuddle up to, right? 8-)

GladGrams-love the poem.

Knot Sew--love the tote pattern, so nice for summer time trips to the beach/lake!! And taffy too?!??! you are so lucky!! I love taffy.

GladGrams 04-05-2010 11:05 PM

OMG Amma, that chick (or is it a duck) with the big eyes is priceless! Sure hope it calms down a bit at your house... It looks definitely stressed out.

diannemc 04-06-2010 04:20 AM

Oh my! I want to thank my secret angel..My gift couldn't have come at a better time...I have been down in the dumps lately..The move has been rough! My mom was in hospital(she is ok now) one thing after another..I walked to the mail box and there it was! thank you so much...You are so sweet!
I have never had a kit before! Can't wait to get started on it! Thank you so so much! I am trying to post pictures but not having any luck! Just not good at that..will try later! I want everyone to see what I got!!!

countrymaid 04-06-2010 05:02 AM

Thank you to my secret quilt angel from the north. My package came and I love the fabric it really made me smile!! I showed it to DD and we can't decide what to make with it. I'd love to know what you thought when you picked it out. The quilt book made me laugh, I remember those fabric prints, I think I even wore some of them :)

I also received a really cool package from my SQA. She knows I needed that pick me up. I have been so distracted lately with trying to "pick up the pieces" after my son's car accident.

This morning I looked at my goodies and realized, I am a delinquent- I have not properly thanked my SQA here. So SQA- THANK YOU!

I got the neatest pair of socks, lots of candy, pretty kitchen towels for spring- told hubby and son not to use them!

I will take a pic and post later. :)

Oh my SQA struck again! :) :) I got my Easter package the other day, but haven't had the chance to post a pic. And yesterday she sent my oldest boy James a birthday card and gift card for his favorite place (McDonalds!) :) Oh, thank you so very much!!!! When he got the card his eyes lit up, he was so excited. :) Though I had to explain to him that I don't know who you are yet, but that mommy has a very sweet friend that is thinking about us! :) And also....I love the fabric you picked out for me to try my very first watercolor project! :) :) :) Ok, this got rather long....but I am so lucky to have you as my sqa! I can not wait to find out who you are and thank you personally! :)

Gramakitten 04-06-2010 09:25 AM

Chrys what a handsome young man. Lucky to have a sqa that adopts the whole family. Love the fabric and the pattern.

Dianemc really nice fabrics and pattern. Never thought to send that kind of gift. We have some smart and tricky angels on here.

I finially got to open my Easter present from my wonderful SQA. Thank you so much. I will put this special momento near my sewing machine. Such a wonderful thought. I have been recovering from a very strange happening on Friday night. About 9:30 pm I started to feel really cold and the room tempertature in our home was 73 degrees (I keep the heat up for DH) and all of a sudden my whole body started shaking uncontrolably and I mentioned it to DH. He freaked and wanted me to immediately take my blood pressure. Our blood pressure device kept saying Error. Then he wanted to call 911 but I talked him into calling our oldest daughter, Pam, who loves to feel important, especially taking people to the hospital. She was at our place about 20 minutes later and whisked us off to the hospital, just 10 minutes from our house. It wasn't a good idea to call Pam because we were told to wait in the waiting room for 4 hours because the ambulance patients were higher priority and there had been a bad auto accident and three ambulances had just pulled in. Anyway when I finially got to see a doctor we found out that I had bacteria in my blood and had Sepia so they gave me mega amounts of antibiotics and sent me home about 5 am. I have been laying around, without much energy and a very acking body, especially my legs. I guess the shaking messed with my muscels and also my vericrose veins in my legs, they were about twice their normal size. The good news is I am now on the mend and plan to get some more of the blocks finished for the block swap and other swaps that I am in. I am able to play on my computer now so wanted to be sure to let my SQA how grateful I am for her thoughtful present for Easter.

Barbsbus: Are you feeling any bet yet? That is really serious. Good thing your DH convinced you to go to the hospital.

Wow////got a great box from my angel on Saturday....had some great fabrics in it, some candy peeps, chocolate bunny, darling litle bobble head bunny to hang on planter, pretty card (woops....she almost signed her real name....darn could not make out what it was, cause she covered it up real good). You are a great angel....thanks thanks thanks. Still going to try to get one of my daughters to teach me to download pics in to computer if they ever stand still long enough. Too busy working, being great moms, etc to take time out to teach an old lady. (ha ha)

Happy belated Easter everyone.

CajunQuilter2 04-06-2010 03:06 PM

Have loved seeing everything all of you have gotten from your SQA for Easter.

barbsbus 04-06-2010 03:14 PM

Yep. It is Sepsis, my fingers hit the wrong keys and my brain was not engaged. LOL. Anyway I am going for a follow up with my GP tomorrow. I still fell pretty washed out and taking advantage of my condition to get out of doing some unneeded chores. It is a good thing DH can not see what hasn't gotten done. Now I have my fingers crossed that we do not have any of his AA buddies coming over to report what has and hasn't been done if he asks them, but he is pretty mellow and trying hard to make sure I am resting. I am able to get some knitting done of some charity sweaters for my churches Knit 4 Kids project.
