An Amazing Gift!!!!!

Isn't this quilt absolutely gorgeous???!!!!   This was a gift from some very special friends to celebrate the new house!!!   I came home from work and the moment I saw who the box was from I knew there was a quilt inside......I couldn't wait to rip open the box to see what they had created!!!! 
IT IS AMAZING!!!!  ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!

OK a little history here........
I joined an online quilting group several years ago when I got my quilting machine and I met Janet and Liz thru this group...... Janet flew down from Washington state a couple times and we went to "quilty" events.  I flew up to Oregon a couple years ago and we went on a week long quilt shop road trip all thru Oregon.  Along the way, we knew that Liz was camping on our line of travel, so we stopped in, grabbed her for a few hours, went to a quilt shop or two, visited and had dinner at the campground.   It was TONS of fun!!!!    Since that little trip I kinda lost touch with them, with everything going on in my own world.......  Now, here they made me a quilt!!!!!   How is that for FRIENDS!!!!!   I am still absolutely blown away by the caring and generosity!!!!   Liz and Janet, you are the BEST!!!!!  My quilt will be cherished Forever!!!!!
