Of course, I had to add to my collection (Big Evil Grin) with these two books based on her fabric design line from Andover! It's so neat to see such a nice Missouri girl making it big on the quilting front.
HAPPY NEWS!!! My DH's niece and hubby have been waiting for years to adopt a baby from China. Their dream came true in December and Baby Emily is now at home with them in Colorado. We are so-o-o very happy for the three of them and anxiously await a time when we can meet our newest great-niece in person. Till then a quilt and a sock beagle will have to stand in for us! You may remember this Broken Dishes quilt I finished several months ago in anticipation of the newest family member's arrival. It is winging its way across Kansas and may even have arrived already in Colorado.

Congrats and welcome to baby Emily *s* Such a sweet quilt and love that sock beagle.
I'm thrilled to read you had a speaker that you love come to your store/guild meeting. What a treat.
Funny that you still had some of the old booklets, too. Smart woman that you are.
Congrats on the new baby and I love the broken dishes quilt along with all the lovely things you added to the package.
Big Smiles and Hugs, *karendianne.
I love the Needle Love books, lucky you getting to spend some time with Renee.
Congrats to the new little family, the quilt is precious.
What a perfect quilt for a new baby girl! Sweet and soft and simple and stunning. I can just imagine their joy - and also can imagine the long wait for her arrival.
I love the Need'l Love books too - have many of them. Haven't made much of anything from them - so far just loved looking at them. One of these days . . . .
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Wow what a wonderful guild meeting, I would love to meet Renee someday.
Congratulatios a great niece..how wonderful..the quilt is lovely
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. The quilt is beautiful and I'm sure it will be treasured. (I noticed Goodnight Moon as part of the package. A wonderful choice!) I'm a Kansas City quilter too. Much more of a beginner than you. I would love to know more about your guild.
OOhh. You are lucky! She is a great designer. What a pleasure!
Congratulations to all of you! I had a friend who took a brother and sister from China and what a wonderful family they've made together - the quilt and sock beagle are just the thing to welcome her. We'll be wanting pictures next, you know.
The lecture sounds great, and I like the top book, just from it's cover! I'll have to look for it. Thanks for sharing.
What a blessing to your family - a new baby in your midst. Enjoy. And I totally understand why you had to have those books.
That's lovely news Vera. I love the quilt you have sent for little Emily. We have friends in Canada who made a similar adoption and she has become a beautiful treasured little girl. I wish the new parents joy and you too!
How exciting, a baby!! Love the quilt you made. Lucky you getting to have such a great speaker at your guild.
Lovely baby quilt, and I am so happy for your new addition to your family. Enjoy!!

Congrats to the new addition to the family. The broken dishes quilt looks lovely. I'm sure it will be well loved.
Congratulations!! A gorgeous quilt and I love the sock beagle. I'm not seem one of those before *VBS*
Seeing your Snowbound book brought back memories. I used to have it, but since I'm so poor of an appliquer, I passed it along to a quilting friend. Is it back in print now, do you know? I'm looking forward to seeing YOUR quilt!
Big hugs, Finn
Oh what a great speaker that must have been. And what EXCELLENT news on baby Emily! Oh that quilt is just going to be soooo sweet for her! And I've never seen a beagle sock dog! I love it!

Congratulations on the new baby Emily. Your gifts are lovely and the quilt is beautiful for a little baby girl.
What wonderful presents for Emily. The quilt is fantastic. And Good Night Moon of course is such a wonderful book.
