A Stitch In Time

The quilting is done! I don't think I've ever quilted so much and so fast in my life. Luckily, my fingers are still intact, albeit a bit sore and misshapen from the metal thimbles. Just how much quilting was that anyway? Well, about 250 yards to be exact. That equals one entire spool of quilting thread. I wasn't really keeping track. I just happen to realize it after I reeled off that last bit of thread. I suppose I should've jumped outta my chair and danced around the room, but instead I just sat there staring at the empty spool in my hand!

Thank you SOOOOO much -- I got mine this weekend and what a thrill it was to get! I love having new little stuff to choose from and you have such a great eye for fabric. And I haven't embroidered in a while, but you can bet I'll be doing something fun with the special little transfers you stuck in. Thank you, thank you!!!

I received my bundle and love it all. I'm especially looking forward to using the embroidery transfers. Thanks again Vicki!

Vicki,

You are sooo lucky! The four 'helpers' I have and the two dogs, would have been all over those packages trying to see inside. Any time there is any type of package in the house it has to be completly inspected inside and out before I can enjoy it myself or send it out. ;)

Vicki, you have been a busy girl. WOW !!! By the way you have to paint the playhouse pink, there really is no other choice !!
Clarice-who has a pink playhouse !!

As usual ... I'm charmed. Miss Lily's lovely. (I only said that because I like alliteration. It's my one persistent talent. lol)

Your Lily (is that her name? I know you've mentioned it before -it's what popped into my head!) - anyway, she looks all tuckered out from all the work she's been helping you with
