| Signature Quilt from California Friends |
This signature quilt is from my California quilt study friends (Repiecers). My friend Irene (90+ and still quilting) hand quilted it.
Each block is signed - I will treasure it always!
I am so fortunate to have them as friends and I look forward to seeing them again - soon.

| Blue Bird of Happiness pin cushion is from my road trip friend |
This sweet blue quilt was a surprise from blogger Doniene.
I first found her blog about her cabin and house in 2011. 'Doniene's 365 Days'.
Many a Sunday morning I shared entries with my family and we marveled at her skill building and utilizing reclaimed materials. Like this example (click HERE) with solid wood flooring. Impressive, and she builds furniture!

| Blue Bird of Happiness Quilt |
For the back of this quilt she used a Blue Bird Flour sack.
These sacks are still being used today.

What a treasure. I'm keeping it at my desk where I can enjoy both sides!
She's also a quilter - and a very generous one too. I hope to meet her in person someday.
Isn't this a lovely quilt?
It is from C. a very special and generous friend.
No blog yet - but she should!
It too is hand quilted and made of vintage quilt fabrics. It too hangs in a place of honor where I enjoy it everyday.
Moving is hard - but I have the support of lots of friends - and have already met many new friends in my new home! Thank you friends.
Let's all tell a friend today how special they are...
Have a great week.
