    It looks like it was a great day for the two of you. It is so nice to have a common interest in fabrics and stitching.

    It looks like the kitty is enjoying your beautiful appliqued piece too

    Gorgeous NJ centre block.... Holly obviously loves it too. Love your new stitching project that thread is really pretty. Can't believe how beautiful and blue the sea and the sky are in your photo... and it's your winter! It doesn't get that good over here even in the height of summer. Hummm... think I'm in the wrong place...;o)
