I was so excited and happy all day. You see, I had never met another stitching friend! I really wanted to stitch something for Chris, but oh my! The time. With only hours to start and complete a gift, whatever should I do? Well, I went with what I have become rather good at this year. Can you guess? Yes, a bookmark.
Here we are at our home.
Sweet Chris brought me these. Lovely red geraniums.
Chris and I went to dinner at one of our favorite burger and custard restaurants. Chris had never had frozen custard! We both had Red Raspberry. She liked it very much. :) Being the nice person that she is, she even bought custard to take home for the family. What a thoughtful, kind thing to do.
I showed Chris our downtown village area and the Falls that are responsible for our village name. Chris had to get up early. I mean really early (way before the sun) for an early flight the next morning. I am so very glad that we got to meet. What a great experience. Thank you Chris.

I received a very wonderful package all the way from Australia! Our friend Noni sent me lovely, pink fabrics.
Hooray! Thank you so much Noni. I now need only 9, yes, 9 more pink fabrics. I am so very close to beginning work on this pink charm quilt. Soon. Very soon. I am busy making gifts for friends first.
EDIT: I have been to JoAnn. I bought the last 9 pink fabrics!! I need ZERO more pink fabrics! Hip hip hooray!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

How wonderful you got to meet up with Chris! She seems like such a lovely person.
Lovely gift from your Australian friend too.
How nice! I don't know how she keeps that pace of work/travel and still finds time for sites and friends. And you create a stitchery gift in a flash!
Sound like you had a great evening.
Yay for meeting up with a fellow stitchy blogger! I can just imagine your lightning needles popping out another bookmark haha. I don't think I've ever had a frozen custard before either! Glad you had such a lovely time~ :D

What a wonderful time you two had together.
This is so nice to meet up with another stitcher friend! Looks like you had a great time :)
It's always thrilling and a joy to meet another stitcher. So sweet of you to have Chris in your home and showing your town.
Both gifts going and received are very thoughtful gift.
What a great chance to meet up with a fellow stitcher. I bet the two of you didn't stop talking!
Sweet little bookmark too.
How wonderful that you got to meet Chris. What a lovely photo of the 2 of you.
Oh, I love that picture of you two! It IS nice to meet a stitcher, when there are no outlets like a shop nearby! If only we lived a little bit closer, I would take a road trip! Congrats on meeting your pink goal! The quilt will be magnanimous! Hugs!
How cool that you and Chris got to meet! It sounds like you had a great time. I've never had frozen custard either. How is it different than ice cream? It sounds like it is richer.
