I love gardening and quilting. Both demand time, attention and careful planning.

I appreciate the commitment it takes to nuture a garden and to see a project through to completion.

Last month, I was working on a new pattern but I wasn't happy with the results. My husband, the gardener and I decided to get in the car and head south to my favorite quilt shop, Material Rewards.

The quilt shop is nearly an hour's ride from my home. We had to decide to make the effort and head out on the long drive.

I was not disappointed. I found everything I needed, came home energized and went to work completing the pattern in a few days.

The owners, Teri and Marty are genuinely wonderful women who love what they do.

I chose to acknowledge them because they've earned my respect and appreciation.
The next time you are in a place of business that has earned your respect not to mention your hard earned dollars, tell them so.

They will appreciate your business and encouragement, especially during these challenging days.

Blessed piecemaking to you always,
