Quilting Bees






















My dear friend Gayle surprised me for my birthday with the most exquisite quilt she created! She is such a gifted artist! Vision & talent of this caliber deserve to be celebrated so I want to publicly express my heartfelt gratitude for her endless hours of effort.


I will treasure this gift forever and always as each stitch represents the power of friendship; two young girl friends, now middle aged, (or seasoned as I like to refer to those of us who are no longer young adults) who have enjoyed many years of sharing laughter, concerns, tears, joy, secrets, successes and family. A friendship quilt made by loving hands and accepted by a humble heart. Though I adore my quilt I love Gayle for the caliber of person she is and am so blessed to have her in my life!


(The note I posted on her Facebook wall … Gayle OH MY GOODNESS thank you; what a delightful surprise!!! The quilt you created & sent for my birthday is extraordinary! I've never seen a quilt as exquisite as this; the color palate is simply beautiful and all of your precise handwork is incredible! You are such a gifted artist Gayle; I will treasure this forever and always dear friend. xoxo)
