Sent With LoVe

I received a beautiful little BLanKeT of LoVe from Linda all the way from France. Linda is off travelling right now so I wish her safe roads and sunny skies. Thanks Linda for another wonderful and generous donation to this project.
To see more of Linda's quilt go HERE to the BLanKeTs of LoVe blog.

Mr postman delivered a WIN I had over at Quilting Chemist recently.
Danette sent me this wonderful pattern for a PiN KeeP. Wasn't I the lucky one. THanKS Danette... I'm looking forward to playing with this little lady!

And to ALL the
 MoTHers... MoTHers-to-be... 
MoTHer-in-laws... Step MoTHers... 
and yes even GRanDMoTHers...
I wish you all a lovely day filled with love on SUNDAY !
Some of us no longer have our mothers with us... 
I thought I'd share this with them...

You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend:
Your wisdom and my will.


I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved me, and I was good.

I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you still. Though you are gone,
You live in what I do.



See you all next week...

Thanks for the poem, Cheryl.
My Mom is in heaven, now. She was a special friend to me as is my Daughter. I marvel at the rocky relationships some Mother-Daughter duos have and am so very thankful that I had the Mother that I did. I miss her but will see her again one day.
