As we enter the season of Thanksgiving I just want
to take a moment to let you know how thankful I am
for each and everyone of you. This creative journey would
not be the same without all the people who appreciate what I do.

Perfect for the little quilt holder. I was going to make the "T is for tiny quilt" for Thanksgiving but I like this option better.
