Yesterday the mail lady delivered a box to my house. When I saw it later I wondered what the heck it was because I had not ordered anything. When I opened it inside a large ziploc bag I saw a quilt. My first thought was "Someone made a mistake and sent me something they should have sent to someone else!" Then I looked closer and gasped! It was for me!! The most adorable signature quilt was made for me!! I am so touched! I forgot to take a photo of the back but the label says "Thank you Lori we love your quilt alongs- 2011.
How sweet is that?! They also sent charms that matched their signature squares.
Thank you seems so inadequate, but what more can say. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much!

For those of you that may not be familiar with my quiltalongs here they are and the links for step 1. PS They are doll size too so you aren't committed to a huge project.

LOL!! You are most welcome Lori! It was a group effort and mostly Karen did all the work of piecing, quilting, binding etc. I think she did a wonderful job. And the backing was from Lizzy!
So happy it's now with you as a token of our appreciation and now it's my turn to say thank YOU!
Those kind of surprises are the best! I enjoyed seeing all the little quilts that were made by these ladies and now their thank you gift to you.
How cool is that! I only did one of your quilt-a-longs - the CC&C one, but love it and really appreciate it! It is one of my favorite quilts!
It couldn't have been for a nicer person. Thank you for everything! You're the best!

Do you know how hard it's been to keep this secret? LOL
Barbara had a great idea of a way to thank you and Karen did a wonderful job of putting the blocks together with the vintage backing Lizzy sent. We love your quilt alongs! :)
Every one of my little quilt-along-with-Lori beauties was great fun to make, and I think of you and your generosity every time I look at them or share their story with someone.
Keeping a secret is SO hard, but we did it, and Karen did a wonderful job putting our blocks together into our little thank you gift--a gift for a very deserving lady.
Ever since coming to blogland I have been most impressed with your graciousness. I know this was well-deserved. And I am happy to be made aware of your quilt-alongs for little quilts. That is something I have been itchin' to try. : )
That is such a thoughtful thing they did, beautiful surprise to remember your friends by.
