All this and a move – you are amazing! So many beautiful quilts and knitted things for others. Congratulations on a terrific 2021!
The world is a warmer place because of you. Thanks for sharing your work. It’s insipring.
you are amazing, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your pictures and ideas and instructions.
The number of things you produced this year is impressive. What is really amazing is how many things you have donated that will remind the recipient that someone cares. I’ve followed your blog for a long time, but the past two years have really been important to me. Seeing the quilts you’ve made and the hats and blankets you’ve crocheted and knitted, as well as the wildlife footage from around your home, has been a bright spot during the pandemic. It added a little bit of normalcy to an otherwise surreal existence. Thank you Mary. I hope you and your family enjoy a happy and healthy New Year.
