Hi Beth!
Glad you liked the stuff I sent. Thank you for the thank you!!!
(Sorry to be so late in responding)

I received my package today because I have a P.O. Box(you can see where this is going ) and I was really happy to see my package there.

I got from Donna(donnacrazylady) safety pins in a cool box(fons & porter) a big E(which will look great in my sewing room) a little photo album, some very pretty fat quarters, the green floral is lovely, can't wait to use it! and a whole package of Twix candy bars(my mom promptly stole one) that are Very good!!
Thank you for the quilt layout papers as well, they should be useful. It was interesting reading your letter about yourself, thank you for sending it.

I loved everything you sent - thanks so much Donna!!

Emily, I hope you are able to at least get some of the Twix away from your mom! Enjoy. )

I have not received a name for January. Hope I am still on the list as I have been keeping up. To my knowledge I have not missed anyone.
Thanks, Judy

I don't know why I did not receive a name for Jan. Did not know I was supposed to sign up again in the new year. I have now sent my info in a pm.

Oh Beth - I am so richly blessed by your generosity and your timing. To receive two packages on the same day. One from you and one from my Secret Cupid. With my Anniversary on Sunday, Valentines Day, this must be what heaven on earth feels like.

For only quilting for two years the table runner was outstanding even more so because my DH loved the colors and he is nit picky. LOL I can't wait to figure out what to do with all the fabric and make the recipe with the pudding. DH laughed at that until I told him I had it on my SP wishlist and the mousepad just lights up my desk. How did you ever know that was on my QIAD wishlist. Awesome, just awesome.

I loved you letter which told me so much more about you. I am sorry about your parents but was truly inspired with the memory your quilt to your dad has left you with. What a joy to have that moment for the rest of your life and to share your quilts with your family is I am sure a great blessing to them. You are a more adventurous person than I am for I have never tried to randomly pick square pieces out of a bag to put together for a quilt. My group is trying to get me to be more flexible and less rigid. To a point it is working but I am still adament that my points line up. LOL.

We so share a gift together as we are both Grandparents that live unfortunately far away. Lucy looks adorable and I would count it a joy that she gets excited to see you. I am going to visit Spencer in NC in March for his 1st birthday. I hope he will always be excited to see me when he gets a little older to know what that means. Until then I will keep making him quilts. LOL

Thank you so so so much again for all the joy you sent me in your package. I know I will enjoy them and all the pictures. Now I have a face to go with the name.

Happy Valentines Day to you and your family
Teresa
