Never did I imagine I would receive such a lovely surprise in my mail yesterday. It was a thank you gift carefully wrapped in pretty yellow tissue and tied with soft, pink fuzzy ribbon. I carefully unwrapped my gift and simply could not believe my eyes. A handmade tabletop quilt!!!! Yellow and pink with lace inserts and a sawtooth edge!!! Oh my!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather!! What a treasure.....and all mine!! If only you could see the detail in this most marvelous quilt. Each corner exact. Each sawtooth, perfect. The textural element of the lace. All hand tied with pink floss. It's a work of art!!! Oh my gosh, you should see the itty
bitty hand stitching on the back. It's simply stunning!! I'm absolutely over the moon!! This most glorious gift given with such a generous spirit. For now, it is topping the desk in one of my guestrooms. It looks as if it were made just for this desk, doesn't it?!!
I believe there are Earth Angels. Theresa, you are one of them. Thank you so very, very much.
Warmest bear hugs, Aleta

Hi!
I just came here via Danita's blog. (I love her too!)
I'm so happy I came by! Everything is so pretty. I'm loving your little vintage teddy bear collages.
If I didn't have a headache I'd stay and read your whole blog.
I'll be back later for that!
Diane
