Dear BJ,
Do you remember the wonderful quilting pattern book you sent me? Oh, I am sure you do. You probably don’t know, that I do not usually follow patterns or instructions or directions…but I just, love that book! That gal with a Bee in her bonnet, sure is creative.
I used that book a lot this summer. When I was lonely and wanted/needed to sew, while My Loving Spouse gone. It was wonderful. That farm girl gave me some good ideas, especially when I did not have enough cowboy fabric to make a cowboy quilt, but I just needed to use it!
It gave me a place to jump off of and try something new and this quilt came out, well, if I do say so myself, pretty darn nice.
We both know, that I have a thing for pumpkins, but that doesn’t mean I can sew one…or two. The book was just the thing!
I even leapt into a house quilt, because of the book. Some of my houses were the wrong colors, so I took the ‘good’ ones and made a table runner with them, which is sort of cool.
So, in closing, I just want to say, thank you again. I love that book. Even I can sometimes follow directions!
Thank you, for blessing me!
Wow! You’ve been BUSY!!! They are all so pretty and creative. I especially like the pumpkins and houses. See. You CAN follow instructions when push comes to shove! Hope your Thanksgiving was full of love and lots of pumpkin pies!
Thank you Mims! I can follow instructions, just do not tell My Loving Spouse!
