The blocks are going to look great all together in a quilt. Great gifts, too. I'm sorry about the family funeral. That's rough.

So sorry to hear about the family funeral. A big over the internet hug to you and yours. I missed seeing all the quilty goodness you are up to, and wish the break was for a happier reason. Take care.

Oh V, I'm so sorry to hear about the funeral. I hope you are hanging in there. You are definitely in my prayers this week. A hug to you.

p.s. Your quilty party decor, momma quilt, matching dresses, swapped embroidery, all look beautiful. :)

Everything looks amazing Victoria. It is so fun to check in on. Thank you again. I had to attend/host my dad's memorial service on Friday so it has been a horrible month for us and it is great to have some bright spots. Another fun coincidence, all the blocks are due on my birthday!

Thank you again.
