Happy Days.....

when a trip to the mail box reveals something wonderful from a blogger friend *VBS* I found ju just such a surprise day before yesterday. A wonderful ATC from Paula... http://thequilter.blogspot.com/ And she made it just for me...It says "Ms Ebby stops to smell the flowers". It's soooo gorgeous, thank you Paula, it's wonderful and a perfect match to Ebby's profile...*VBS* I feel so special..*S*

And I got this wonderful ATC about a week ago for McIrish Annie at http://quilttilyouwilt.blogspot.com/ Annie has been making cards for several months now, and does such a beautiful job! This one looks inspired to me, and I'm thrilled to call it mine..*VBS*
I will be adding these two to the lovely one I got from Darcie for my birthday, last October. Darcie is at http://quiltingbydarcie.blogspot.com/ Her's is made from some of her handdyeds, an oak leaf on a muted back ground...I love them all. I can see why the gals get addicted to making these. Might just have to give it a whirl myself.
Background for the picture provided by the vintage quilt on the back of the couch this summer. It's the one in which the maker had to 'piece' together scraps to get a 4" block to use. I bought it as a top and hand quilted it several years back.

a sign that you are definitely loved.....(I'm not even a cat-person and I'm enchanted with Ebby. She's an incredibly classy cat...)

What absolutely lovely ATCs! I have learned just how caring and giving quilters are. Paula, Annie and Darcie are not only wonderful quilters but they are exceptional women! And you, Finn, you deserve only the very best and others recognize and want to share that with you!

Just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying reading your blog. I am new to blogging and quilting. I only just recently started my first quilt. Could you explain to me what an ATC is?

Oh listen to you...bless your heart. I haven't been by for a visit in much-too-long...and here you are, saying good things about me. ;-) I'm blushing.

Lovely postcards! Yes..you definitely should try some out for yourself, Finn. You wouldn't believe how the mind can wonder...and wander!

Hugs to you!
