I am thankful for

On this rainy day, I am sew thankful for:

1. My grandma Pelz for teaching me to sew
2. My sewing room/office/bedroom which although small, is very cozy and my cats love it as much as I do!
3. Completing a nearly entirely paper-pieced quilt top
4. Groups and individuals who, at the drop of a hat, will make quilts and donate them anywhere they are needed
5. Bonnie Hunter. She is a designer/quilter that inspires me not only with her talents but with her outlook on life
6. The quilts I've made that have been loved
7. Being asked to make a special quilt. Even if I am unable to do it, it feels good to have been asked
8. Verna's quiltshop. I am so thankful for this quiltshop and its owner. I can always find exactly what I need - whether it is fabric or advice
   
9. a card that my oldest daughter made me recently. Such beautiful sixties flowers and a wonderful Robert Frost verse inside
10. Seam rippers. They are the greatest invention ever!
11. I can't live without my seam ripper.
12. All of the people who spend 6 weeks piecing the same mystery quilt from across the country.
13. I always love the Ohio Star
14. Quilting has taught me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

These are in response to #IMSEWTHANKFUL from American Patchwork & Quilting
