(and I mean NO ONE) has EVER made me feel SO SPECIAL AND LOVED ... I can't believe you have done this for the new little one (baby to be) and for ME and my family ~~~ how can I ever THANK YOU enough.


You sure got me ! I thought I was sending a block and label for another Cutie ~~~

WHAT A SURPRISE ! !
The shower is tomorrow ... what GREAT timing ..... Oh my gosh I still can't believe you ALL have made this gorgeous quilt for MY family. Deanna you are so very, very, very special and loving.

I have to go dry my tears of joy .... WOW !!! Haven't felt this way in a long~long~long time.

HUGS AND HUGS AND HUGS TO ALL THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL BABY QUILT (which I know my son and daughter-in-law will cherish forever).

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE
Linda (and baby to-be)

You sure know how to bring tears to my eyes!! How happy to see someone so blessed with joy, friendship and love. I wish I had known about the quilt as I would love to have been a part of bringing so much joy to someone as you. There is so much love in the Cute family and it is gratifying to see it bearing fruit. May God bless you and your son & ddil and of course, the new baby. You will love being Grandma- it is a gift like no other. Thank you for sharing your joy and thank you to the folks involved in making her so happy! You all warm my heart!

Deanna in a star.
I am so pleased that I could be a part of it. I'm sure your Daughter-in-law and son will treasure this quilt.

I also was having to wipe away the wetness at my eyes when reading your reply. A quilt made this way is always special, but when done and sent to someone we don't know - that really makes it extra special and mind boggling.
Congrat on the baby to be.

Linda, after reading your reply I had my Sun. morn cry--you sure brought tears to my eyes. You and your family are very "Welcome" for the gift. The happiness I read here is sooo heartfelt. Have a wonderful shower--and we will all be looking forward to pictures.
Deanna is one of GOD's ANGLES!! She is a huge heart with a head, arms, and legs going around doing fantastic thing for other people. How she finds all the time to do all that she does for others I will never know.
Hugs and flowers, Sally

hi Linda, I'm happy for you and with you. And I'm glad I don't have any more secrets for you. now you understand why I asked you to make a part for this quilt too in my place (however I had done mine already). Deanna and I had agreed there had to be a part of you too on this quilt for the new grandchild.So I'm not sorry I mislead you,I will not do it again,but it was worth it. Hope to see the pictures soon.Of the quilt and of the new to be parents with th quilt when they get it.
And you are so right: Deanna is a heavenly angel on earth. She deserves all our compliments and love!
And love for you too!Gerry

Chris, this is a lovely picture . Where di you get it? Do you think it can digitize into an embroidery design? I'm still dreaming of learning how to digitize.
Regards,
Starlet

meganne by meganne 17 Oct 2010

Starlet, the digitiser would need permission from the graphic artist, which, judging by the copyright printed on bottom left of picture, I would say is probably Brooke Kroeger Designs.com
