I went to see Granny today and walked in with 2 envelopes and some money.
She looked at me and said, "What have you got"?
I told her that she sold another quilt. I told her this one was from my friend
Connie in Indiana.
She said, how do you know all these people and how do they know about my quilts?
I reminded her of my blog but she just doesn't understand. She was so tickled though.
Connie, you made her day!
I gave Granny both cards from
Martha and
Connie! I had given her Marthas money the other day but I thought she would enjoy the cards.
I read both of them to her. She said she could not wait to just sit and read them by herself.
She said the cards were worth more than the money. I gave her the envelopes so she could see that these friends lived far away. She just can't believe it.
My sweet friend Connie had told me which quilt she would like from a picture she saw. Of course she said any of them would be great. My cousin Nancy was there and Granny told her to go and help me pick Connie out a pretty quilt. My cousin reads my blog so she understood and she was as tickled as I was about my friends wanting a "Granny quilt". I wish I had labels to put on them. Connies quilt was there waiting on her. It is a very pretty quilt.
Granny wanted to check it out and make sure it was good enough.
I told both Connie & Martha that Granny is almost 96 years old and her quilts are not perfect by any means but I sleep under one every night. Last Christmas I bought 3 of my grandchildren a quilt from Granny and they also sleep with one on their bed every night too.
I have to tell you what Granny said. She told me that she was running short this month. They filled up her tank with gas for her heater for the winter time and it was a big chunk. She said, "The Lord is so good." She said that money that Connie sent came right on time when she needed it. She got tears in her eyes and said "I am so blessed, Beth (that is what she calls me)".
When I started to leave she looked at me and said I can't wait until you come again. She always says how much she appreciates me. You would think I just come once a month or something. I try to go at least once a week. She always says the same thing everytime I leave but this time she added this:
I can't wait until you come again. I sure do appreciate you Beth. I hope you bring a check with you next time!!!!!!! (she just giggled)

She loved it. It made her day. What a blessing!
Thank you Connie!
Martha & Connie......Your quilts will be shipped out tomorrow.
Thank you for blessing Granny!
