Hi gals and guys,


I just had to share this with you - Jan wrote to me to let me know that Edith had a couple of pictures of her on my quilt.

I've just gotten an email from Edith thanking me for it - I've attached it for your perusal. Love and blessings Chris

"I am so much excited to know you, it is always great joy when we meet new friends.
I am humbled down about your great work, I cannot believe it, my heart is pouring out tears of joy because this is unbelievable. Please know that I am not taking the work done for granted, but rather extending my appreciations towards you.

Thank you so much for the good heart, making for me the best quilt despite the fact that you did not know me. Honestly I feel loved I did not expect this. You have raised my standard so high.
My quilt is my life, I treasure it so much because it was made with love.
Once again thank you so much my dear for the great work done, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate you.

Thank you Edith"

Chris, this letter from Edith absolutely made me cry! To bring such joy to a young woman must be one of your greatest joys as well. How you touched her heart, and I'm sure she'll touch the hearts of others in the same way thru your loving gift. Thanks, because you reminded me yet again how this is supposed to work, "Love one another, as I have loved you." Hugs, Marji

Hi Jan, I wrote to Amanda letting her know that you had written to me and asked her to send on my thanks for the wonderful picture. She then forwarded my email to Edith and she replied to me. Easy peasy! Love Chris
