Gratitude is the memory of the heart. – Massieu
With all good intentions of blogging everyday from the Stitch IN last week, intentions went out the door with the busy, fabulousness of our week. I have many many many many photos to post if I posted them all you would have to sit and read my blog for 10 hours. I will post some and chat a bit for the next few days,but first a message from our sponsor!
I don’t understand how lucky…no, how blessed I manage to be! I have an unbelievable family and amazing groups of friends. The Silver Thimble Quilt Club of Grayson Georgia should be bottled up and given to every quilt shop in the country! First of all these women produce amazing quilts and projects but then there is the “feeling” the fellowship, the support and frankly the LOVE. It is sooo right there you can touch it. The fact that I can spend 6 days in 12 hours of sewing time EACH DAY with these women is enough…the fact that I get to be their leader is more than I can explain, my heart bursts with pride! As I told them…it isn’t all about the quilts…it is about US as women and friends. OK enough..on to the quilts and side bar comments from moi.
