An Incomparable Gift

At last I unveil a gift I received in the mail. A totally unexpected gift from a friend whom I love dearly in a completely platonic fashion. Someone whom I would very much like to give a giant hug to even though I'm a prickly person and not prone to spontaneous or frequent hugs. You may be able to tell who it is just from the little teaser of a picture above.

She's sews for celebrities, she's mom to a fabulous and gorgeous daughter, she's a newly minted designer in her own right, she is a loyal friend, a swearing lady, she's a lady full of surprises...

Pam. That's who sent me this amazing gift of gorgeous orange and white fabrics. Pam of Pam Kitty Morning who I think everyone notable knows. The first person to blogroll me.

But she didn't just send me some fabric she thought I'd enjoy...she sent me a flipping QUILT TOP!!! No one has ever made me a quilt top before and it's like receiving a brand new heirloom. The stuff of legends. Because it falls to me to back it and quilt it, it is a real friendship quilt.

And it's not the small kind you hang on the wall either. It's big! It's big enough to wrap around someone who needs to snuggle down on a cold night. It's big enough to offer a guest staying the night. It's big enough to use as a picnic quilt, though I won't because there's nothing but mud around here and we all know how much I suck at laundry.

Pam, you are an amazing woman and I adore you. Thank you for such a wonderful gift!
