Hi Linda, This is Alliek(Alvina). I just wanted to tell you that i received your ornaments today! They are lovely!You do such beautiful work. I will treasure them. It is so nice to be able to reach across this country and leave a little of yourself in celebration of the birth of Christ. I know you said he comes first in your life, as in mine. I thank HIM every day of my life for the goodness I experience. Every day a gift from Our Lord is evident. Thank you again Linda and I will try to post a pic, I hope I can, they are so lovely! God Bless-Alvina 1 Thanks Beakkmom thanked for this post
I am so sorry to hear about the tea room. We did not know. We talked to them about it and they said if it didn't sell, then they would close it up. So sad. Loved that place. And, the gift shop----ooooohhhhhh!! I even have the tulip dishes they used to use there. Found them in CA. years ago. I still love them. Do you remember those plates and bowls? They had a house built in Ames, right? She didn't want to leave Iowa. I am glad we are friends and again, thank you for your prayers for my dear mom. She is having a tough time acclimating to being home. Piece and blessings, Vicki
Hi Lin, Thank you for your kind note. I love the tea room in Perry. As a coincidence, my husband went to school with her husband way, way back in California. Isn't that something? I thought it very funny. I added you as a friend and was hoping you would do the same. Thank you about the kind words about my mom. She will be greatly missed as we didn't expect this to happen so suddenly. Have you lived in Iowa all your life? Piece and blessings, Vicki
Hi Lin, thank you so much for the pictures. I did have the correct blocks. I had even noted on my spreadsheet that yours were "all orange". Thanks, now i will jot your name in the corner!! Do you have a preference for this, since I haven't written on them yet? let me know.
Did you make this block set? (See My Album for Heaven's blocks and let me know if Blocks A or Blocks B are yours). Your name wasn't on them and I wrote them with a pen that disappears when you iron them, so I ironed them and your name disappeared (duh!). Just want to be sure this is yours before I put your name on them.
Thanks I am back in bed now! I had to go in for a few minutes this mornig to tie up some lose ends.
Thanks I plan on doing all my block in black and white except for one I am going to make in color!
Ok so how long are these actually taking??? By the way they look great! Even if it did take longer than 2hrs haha!!! You have a good weekend too!
Lin!!!! I just realized that I did not reply back to you! I am so sorry! I can't wait to see your tulip purse! The first time we do something it usually takes us longer haha! or at least it does me! I currently have two projects going. I am working on some quilt blocks that I started years ago for my Grandparents. Needless to say they need a little work haha! I also just started last night working on another quilt top using a purple jelly roll. I am going to use that method from 3 dudes that Jenny did a tut on. It will be cool to see how it turns out!
Thank you very much. I still have to put it together and quilt and bind it but I'm new to FMQing and am having issues. So after I practice some more I'll get the table runner done.
