Happy Easter & Help...

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend. It's quiet around here, just my husband and myself. He is sleeping so I spent quite awhile going through bloglovin and catching up on all your great work. I have noticed I keep getting emails regarding the comments I leave on people's blogs. It says my post notification could not be delivered to the recipient. And I've also noticed I'm not getting email notification of all your sweet comments on my blog. Has anyone else been having this issue lately?? I'm not sure what to do or how to fix it! I hope I have been able to respond to each of you, because I truly appreciate your visits!
I have my Reunion top finished as well as the back. Sorry for the quick and crappy cell phone picture! I'm hoping to do some quilting on it today. Better pictures coming soon, it's raining today, thank goodness! We need it so badly right now.

I have been bad about getting sidetracked lately. When I first started quilting, I NEVER moved on to a new project without finishing my current one! I saw this Mini Medallion quilt along and really want to join in. You can find the post here. It's a mini so it will use up some scraps.

Being Easter, I thought it was a good time to remember what others do for us. My friend Cristina sent me this wonderful package in the mail. I was so surprised when I opened it up! She has been a great friend through life's recent troubles. I am so very grateful for the wonderful quilting friends I have met since blogging and quilting. You are all wonderful! What a great community to belong to :)

 I hope you don't mind my sharing your thoughtful gift Cristina. What great choices she made for me! The Fat Quarter Shop packaged this up so beautifully also. That new book is awesome friends! Some books have a project or two that you can't wait to make, and then some that are just ok. This book is FULL of wonderful quilts and I will probably make every single one! It's from Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. I had to share that link, it takes you to one of my favorites in the book, so pretty!!
We have to remember that everyone goes through awful times in this life. Sometimes all it takes to brighten a person's day and make a difference is a, "Hello, how are you?". Or a simple smile. Kindness goes a long way and I appreciate all of your friendships, comments and virtual hugs. Have a great weekend friends!

  2. Hm, I'm not sure what is going on with your mail by the description. I may be able to help if you want to forward me one of the failure notices (susandowenby@gmail.com).

    Nice gift you go there! I try to send little things from time to time because I so love it when people think of me like that. :)

    Happy Easter!
