I'm a Lucky Blogger

Wanna know why?

'Cause I have like the nicest readers EVER.

That's right.  I had a giveaway (several months ago now ...) and the winner took time to send me a thank you note ... in the mail! 

Not only that, she sent a HANDMADE card,

personalized with my favorite appliance in my favorite color.

And by the way, it is just my humble opinion, but quilters have superior skills when it comes to other crafts like scrapbooking and cardmaking.

See?  A perfect mix of a solid (scalloped applique, no less), floral & check ...

... even stitched together with a zigzag.  (LOVE that!)

With the sweetest message inside.

But the best thing about a homemade card is this ...

the logo on the back by the maker.

Thank you for the thank you, Becky!

so sweet! speaking of gifts, I should have your blog swap gift ready soon (ohhhh, I hope you like it!). Any plans for a trip south soon? If not, I can always bring it to you, or mail it. Just let me know what's easiest as I know you are one busy lady! Have a wonderful day!

Sure you have the best blog readers ever;-) And I promise you I'll send you a handmade card if I'd win a giveaway from you. Forget it, just give me your address and I'll send you a gift how about that? Hildy

I love the little sewing machine with the tread! How thoughtful and adorable. I really think Becky should make one for all of us, don't you? Just kidding, Becky! ;p

That is a beautiful card! Love it! You are right - quilters do have special skills that spill over into other areas! She did a great job! Was fun to see it!
