I Love Youse Guys!

This is a big thank you to all of you who commented on my blog or sent personal e-mails. You have made me feel so durn good! I don’t have time to e-mail you all back so this is my love letter to y’all!!

I had a great day. The crosses are fused down. I got in over 13,000 steps because in addition to my power walk with Maggie and Mr C, I was traipsing around the Pearl in downtown Portland, doing some gallery hopping and lunch with Terry and June. I made a date with M & M for tomorrow. They are coming in the afternoon to spend the night with us. Lisa called this morning to check in. I always love having a chat with her.

I will soon do a political rant because I can’t take it anymore. If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention. But while I am working on the worship quilt, I am trying to be calm and respectful.

Thanks again for your support as I worked my way through my design issues.

And because I love to post a photo, I leave you with this challenge quilt in which I was to portray my essence – I still love this image!

    Hi Gerrie, I found your blog link from both Stephanie’s and Lisa’s blogs. I love your quilts and am absolutely looking forward to hearing your rant!;) You are so talented and am looking forward to reading more of your blog. Excellent on the walking!

    That is so you! You got the essence.
    And I’m paying attention, it is like one of those car wrecks that you have to look at even though you don’t want to, and oh goodness I guess we are ALL in the cars that are wrecked or have wrecked. So I am sick with anticipation of your rant.

    Isn’t it great to get comments! I’m feeling jealous…13,000 steps is quite a lot.

    I like your happy quilt. It gave me a smile for the day.

    P.S. – I am paying attention and can’t wait for your political rant. There are just soooo many things to be upset about right now!

    I await, with baited breath, your fabulous rant. You know the only thing I enjoy more than your work is your spot on ranting…..(Blush if you must) however, there’s so much to rant about-where to begin? Love the face!

    Gerrie, Love what you did – it’s nice to step back and know when you are happy with something. Happy fusing! Love the portrait – looks like someone else – but with out the spikes – not yet anyway. That comment from Rick.

    13 000 steps is pretty amazing! Well done. And I agree with everyone else; the second version of your quilt is more sophisticated. It is a knock-out quilt!
