{blessings, thankfulness, and fabric}

Ohhhh what a week of thankfulness!

Do you ever just sit around and look around and see how wonderful things are around you?

Even on a tough day!! The blessings that God gives us surround us!!

Yep!!! My life is filled with JOY!!!!

And here is what I received in the mail the other day:

My sweet Come Thou Fount Tree Mini Quilt by Tina Neese!! She made this really fun quilt just for me! yay!!! Thanks, Tina!!

It has my very fave hymn lyrics on there!!! perfect!!

It fits perfectly into my front entryway! yay!

And she gave me other fun goodies, too!!

Love love love!!!

Isn't the interweb fantastic???? I love meeting people that I really click with (yes, pun intended!!) and then keep in touch through this awesome technology!!

Check out Brooke's blog today to see what I mean…

Yep…it's all because of this fabric!! and a very sweet designer!

So thankful for good friends!!

Thanksgiving has been inspiring me to quilt. I have started the wonderful quilt pattern, Modern Maples. Check out their flickr group here #fallingformodernmaples.

Here are my first few blocks…
