I received an nice surprise this morning...
M&CM appeared after Bible study with this lovely gift for me...
it came from the "pay it forward" blog posts from a couple of years ago...
which I had completely forgotten about...
but she hadn't and she created this wonderful quilted table cloth...
that will be perfect on my 48" round oak table in the breakfast nook...
her choice of subject matter was perfect...
vegetables, of many kinds, interspersed with ferns...
and since my breakfast nook is yellow...
the color is perfect too...
surrounded with a colorful border of flowers...
what is hard to show in pictures is the intricate, swirling stitching...
making patterns of graceful, sweeping curlicues...
that reminds me of fern heads and palm fronds...
a bit easier to see on the backside...
with its green swirls that remind me of cabbages...
but still a bit busy a background to allow one ...
to really appreciate all the intricacies of the decorative stitching...
I am just amazed when I see the detail in a production such as this...
she explained how she cut various parts from other larger patterns...
to put together here...
I truly appreciate all the effort & talent it takes to create something like this...
I know that I'd never have the skill or patience to accomplish it...
so again, many thanks M&CM...
I do appreciate all the effort and perseverance that went into making this...
I'll treasure it always...

My dear, Catsinger...what a surprise to go to your Blog and see my "pay-it-forward" gift to you in such beautiful pictures! I'm so pleased that you life it and understand that the subject matter was especially for you! May you and the kitty cats enjoy it for a long, long time! It was made and given with love and prayers!
...thanks again M&CM...
since you gave it to me where I was already online, it took only moments after you left to unfold it & take a few pictures(my camera is always in my computer bag...) it's awaiting the cleaning of the nook before I put it in its place of honor... I'm sure Lacey will enjoy it there..; D
many thanks again... it will be treasured for many years...
