Dear Friends,

As we begin a New Year, a New Decade and our 29th year making quilts, we wanted to share a very special letter, sent by a good customer in Maryland.

Dear Georgina and Dick,

I wanted to thank you for making the two new gorgeous quilts that are gracing my bedroom, The Funky Schoolhouses and the Dresden Plate using depression fabrics. I can't say enough. It's amazing how this all came about. First of all, I don't know if I told you this, but every so often I go onto your website and browse the quilts for sale. I have always wanted a Schoolhouse Quilt and the one you had online always would make me long to purchase it. Even though I was only viewing a picture, the way you had put together the fabrics intrigued me. I figured it was a pipe dream, so would always try to put it out of my mind. Anyway, after you finished my son's quilt this past month, I opened the little letter you sent me and, lo and behold, what was on the front of the postcard but the Funky Schoolhouse quilt! I couldn't believe it. I showed it to Mike and said, look at this quilt, isn't it beautiful? I told him that I had viewed it many times online and loved it. He liked it too. A few days later, I remembered that you had said that some of the quilts were 50% off. I mentioned to Mike about the Churn Dash and told him that some of your quilts were marked down. He said, "Well, what about the Schoolhouse Quilt?" I said, "No probably not, I don't think it is bed-size." I pretty much put it out of my mind. Little did I know he had come down to see you!

So on Christmas morning, when I opened my first package and saw that amazing Schoolhouse quilt tumble out of the box, I actually started crying. I was overwhelmed. We opened a few more gifts and then Mike handed me another box. In it was that gorgeous Dresden Plate. What makes this more amazing is that out of all of the quilts on your website, The Funky Schoolhouses would have been my first choice, and the Dresden Plate was my second! (Mike must know me pretty well, huh?!)

So, Georgina and Dick, thank you for being part of our Christmas. We love you guys! I heard all about your three Mastiffs and about your lovely home. One of these days I want to get down there and see your work area for myself- to see close up how you guys create these quilting masterpieces. Thank you both again! We wish you a prosperous and blessed New Year!

This kind of response and appreciation makes our hard work worthwhile and also allows us to value and cherish those in our Quilting Family. A great start for 2010, have already shipped several new projects to quilters, plus just completed one of two Elly Sienkiewicz's Baltimore Album pieces, to be published in a new book and shown in Houston in October! The second is expected shortly and both will be presented at her Applique Academy in February.

We are photographing our new work and photos will be available shortly! Our excellent quilters are eager for winter work and your tops will be carefully marked and shipped immediately. Please let us hear from you!
