I've been having fun playing with my new camera, but I need to learn more before I can upload to the computer. So you will have to wait to see my photographic masterpieces.
Yesterday I had a WONDERFUL mail delivery day:
1) Marjorie came home! Thank you for sending her, Amanda. We had a happy reunion.
The little tote bag is so cute, and it came with some other interesting tidbits such as news articles about the Orphan Train, a printout of Michelle's blog post after she read the book, a couple of business cards, and even some orphan blocks for starting another quilt, AND the cute bookmark you see pictured to the right. Who made it? It's adorable.
2) a block for Joanie from Sue B. Thank you!
3) 3 blocks for Joanie from Yvonne. Thank you, too!
4) the highlight was my camera! Snap, snap, snap. If I see you I will photograph you.
I now have about 4 gazillion blocks for Joanie. I'm going to start making her quilt! It'll be plenty big, and I'll probably have some leftover for a second quilt. As soon as I learn how with my new toy, I'll post pictures!
Funny name...TwoBelow... I am excited to see Joanie's quilt... thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIf it is that cold I think you need to move to somewhere warmer!
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering and wondering about Marjorie and gang. How wonderful to accidentally come across your blog post saying she'd arrived home in January. I made the little bag and I included some articles and such...but not the book mark which is awfully cute! Did everybody hold up the tradition of signing the book and/or a card...can't remember which was inside when Finn sent me the book after reading it. In any case, I am so happy to know it all ended back at the beginning. I wished later that we'd all documented it better as I lost track of it along the way. Where all did it travel? Could you do a post on it on Finn's Orpan Train blog...that'd be so fun! Michele in Salem, Oregon
