Quilter's are indeed the greatest!

I had been a blog "lurker" for quite a while before I started this one nearly a year ago. In all that time I have communicated with some wonderful people from all over the world. But, until last week, I had never met a fellow blogger in person (with the exception of those few I already knew of course). So I was so thrilled to get an e-mail from Sue (I Sew Quilts) saying she was traveling to Maine (from the UK) and could we meet up. We met last Wednesday at Cyndi's (Busy Thimble) shop.



We were both delighted to finally meet Sue, but we were nearly bowled over when she presented us with two sweet quilts, yes, one for each of us! I'm sorry I didn't take my camera (my phone is so old it doesn't take pictures) but Cyndi took some photos and will post them soon. Here is the quilt she made for me. So beautiful and HAND quilted!


The colors are a bit off since I took this at 5:00 this morning and the sun hadn't made it up yet. It is gorgeous. Thank you Sue! I look forward to meeting many of my fellow bloggers in the future!

    How very fun! I wish that I had met you when I was at Cyndi's last month. She had so much good to say about you, that I came home and looked up your blog. The funny thing is that your comment just came in on my blog as I was reading yours.
    What an awfully nice gesture for Sue to have made each of you a quilt--and hand-quilted, to boot!

      I wish I had been there too. And Cyndi said you ere just as nice in person as you are on your blog! I've tried adding you to my sidebar a number of times and must be doing something wrong. I had trouble with a few others so I will get my techno friend to help me.

    I have only met two of my online quilting friends. A delight that you had an opportunity to meet someone from so far away. Quilting brings us together.

    It was nice for all of us to see a photo of the three of you together and to meet at the Busy Thimble, what an extra delight. Sue's gift is a wonderful gesture. Quilter's are the best.

    How nice! I've met Sue a couple times on her travels to the US and she is such a lovely lady. I hope we meet up one day too!
