we are all a mix of

friends family culture history

we are a scrap bag of goodness

and our blessings come in the same manner

during this holiday week

let's take a breath

be thankful and grateful and thoughtful

this thanksgiving

take a moment and leave a note of thanks, something you are grateful for

not for a giveaway

not for any reason other than

to give that notion "flight"

I am thankful for all of you!

because of all of you, I can do what it is that I do!!

I am grateful for that...

...a busy year!

s u r p r i s e

it has been a busy year

while I really wanted to have a big reveal at

Fall Quilt Market

A M A Z O N

beat me to it

it's true!

and I am just over the moon

that Martingale/That Patchwork Place

believed enough

in my ideas to allow me to 

write my very own book

but there's a twist

do you see it?

look again

yaaaaay

it's true

Angela Walters
