all embraced this project, opened your hearts to make this dream of mine come true. I will never, ever be able to thank you appropriately for all of your help. I know there are lots more on their way, I've gotten quite a few e-mails this weekend letting me know that they're on their way. My heart is truly singing. You all are amazing!I'm going to see Jami on Thursday, I'm taking breakfast out to her house and we're going to have a girls morning. I'm going to take all the pillowcases I have with me...she is just going to thrilled. She has so idea what I've started and what you all have done...I only wish that all of you could be there with me on Thursday...and I know this is just the beginning. I know there are lots more pillowcases to come. I'm hoping to have them all in by August. I've also gotten quite a few more no-reply comments, so I haven't been able to send you my address...if you haven't heard from me please send me an e-mail at goodhomequiltco@aol.com and I'll get right back to you I promise.
Again, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You truly are making my dream come true...I am so grateful!

Bloggers have generous hearts. I have my fabric and you'll get the pillowcases before August. I have a very soft spot for military men and women.
ReplyDeleteMine went out in the mail on Saturday...and I found more fabric on Sunday. Hope I can make a few more for you and Jami. Give her a hug for me.
ReplyDeleteGood, fun news :-) I pulled out the fabrics yesterday to make a couple of cases so they'll be heading your way soon. I hope Jami is cheered by this surprise. Thank you for picking up her efforts.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! I hope to get mine in the mail soon.
