No matter life's circumstance I feel extremely blessed!
Grateful my daughter is alive and slowly, slowly getting better after the horrific car accident..
Grateful for the travel I've been able to do this year.
Grateful for a generous husband.
And so grateful for YOU! Thank you so much for sharing your life with me and continuing to follow and comment on my blog and facebook group. Thank you for supporting my little Etsy store where I hope to continue to hunt down "hard to find, out of print" reproductions for you.
Thank you to the guilds who have hired me for trunk shows and workshops. I really enjoy meeting quilters from all over!
I'm grateful for my country where we are free to speak, protest, worship, gather, vote. (And so much more!) So many countries are not afforded these same freedoms.
No matter where you are in the world I am thankful for YOU!!

ReplyDeleteHaving been inspired to create some antique quilts for us from receiving 2 antique quilts from my family, I LOVE the 1800's reprints, and you are one of the few bloggers I find who share that love. Thank you. My Stars In A Time Warp are still in Time Out. Quilts for us are on hold as we are preparing to share homemade comforters with the ever-expanding extended family, sometime next spring, God willing. I sewed last night on one project, then when I was done for the day Hubby was inspired by my blocks so made some as well, in his fabrics. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI have appreciated you and your blog for all the years I have been following--coming up on 14. You have been generous, helpful, instructive, adventurous, and kind.
ReplyDeleteI must have been absent when you posted about your daughter's accident. So sorry to hear thatr happened, and grateful to know she is improving. I will keep her in my prayers.
This was a beautiful post. I enjoyed your thoughts and your quilts.
I am grateful for you and your blog, for sharing your life, for giving me pretty things to look at, for creative inspiration, for your sharing your travels, and for the local scenery and weather reports!
