Hello My Quilty Friends!   What a long three weeks it has been. It feels like a lifetime.   Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers, the cards and messages, your patience and grace.   The Little Shop Family is healing, and we have heard encouraging words from doctors.   The road to recovery is a long one, but we are looking at the future with optimism.   Many of you placed Little Shop orders last week, and I thank you.  I am working on these a little bit at a time.     Also, many of you...

This. Cooperation. Collaboration. Quilt Shop Owner Friends. This is what it means to me.   "Let me be the first one to extend a hand, Jenn." "I am calling because I have the bandwidth, what do you need?" "Whatever you need, Jenn, just let me know." "Take care of your family, Jenn, we got you."   It is getting the phone call because they realize from hundreds of miles away that I need to talk. It is having them listen from hundreds of miles away and knowing they get it, even if what is coming out of my mouth doesn't...
