Gifted ~ ~ ~

I have some of the most amazing friends!  I was gifted this beautiful quilt by dear friend Dolly who adopted my Eema.  It is in beautiful shape and is hand quilted.  I absolutely love it.


Sweet Ann from 1803 Ohio Farm Baskets sent me this little basket to hold my scissors, rug hook, etc.  I had asked her to send me some business cards because where ever I take my wool tote basket, people want to know where I got it.  I never expected to get this wonderful basket.  Lucky me!


Joanne sent me this fun pug to sew in to a pillow.  Joanne,  I promise I will do better with this than I have done with the feather tree kit you sent me (hanging my head in shame!).



For my birthday, hooker friend Melissa gave me this book (perfect) . . .


. . . and this Edyth O'Neill candle mat complete with wool.  This will be a fun, quick hook!  


In addition a couple of people very dear to me were extremely generous cash-wise to help defray the cost of my car repairs and new tires.  PLUS . . . I was gifted Ellie's mom's almost new iPad.  I am truly blessed by the friendship and generosity of so many people.  

Jake and I had a good day at the indoor amusement park.  He thought the mirrors were great fun.  Tomorrow we are off to see the Croods :)  


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Gift from a Friend ~


The other day in the mail I received the most perfect gift!  Something totally unexpected and totally wonderful.  I received this little pug quilt from Gayle, the Middle Sister, made especially for me :)   It's temporarily hanging from one of my wool cupboards until I find the perfect place for it.  It will have a place of honor in the hooking room since that is where I spent the most time.


Isn't it too sweet?  It measures about 9 1/2" x 11 3/4" . . .


. . . these little blocks are just 1" square.  


I am not a quilter and just in awe of the talent needed to make this.  Gayle, thank you so very much.  I am one lucky blogger!!!

What a gorgeous day today on Ohio's north coast.  I hope we get many more ~ soon.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
