CLEVER CLOGS YOU!!
VERY IMPRESSED!!
Jan they are beautiful ~ I love the sheep and tree ~ can just imagine how pleased they all were to receive such lovely gifts ~ and the Cardie ~ it must have taken ages to complete all of these ~ Ally x
I can tell why you kept so busy. They are all beautiful. I think those kind of gifts are the best. You put alot of love into those. The cardigan and the quillows are exceptional to say the least. The only pickled onions I've ever had were tiny ones that were in a pickled vegetable mixture. Hopefully this year I'll find the time to make my gifts. They really do mean more.

Oh Jan these are absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love the detail you put into them. The tree and sheep is so cute! These are the best gifts. They will have them forever! The cardigan is beautiful, too! How talented you are Jan!
How did you learn to make these things? Did you teach yourself?
Love Pam
Lovely work, Jan. I particularly like the sheep, having penned up EIGHT of somebody else's yesterday morning.
I wish I knew how you find the time to be so creative, and lead an interesting life as well!
Lots of love to you three for a very happy New Year.

What a wonderful job you have made of all your gifts do you do all the patchwork by hand or do you use a sewing machine? Now you will be able to get back to books lol. Love Joan

Goodness, Jan, you are more than talented. That cardigan is just lovely as well as all your quilts. I would more than love to get any as a gift, and you picked onions also. Wow! Hope you, Maurice and family have a wonderful 2009! love xx
What wonderful presents! I wish I could do something so fantastic. I bet the recipients of the gifts were over the moon. Well done, Jan. Wish you all the best for the new year. Take care. Ciao. Antonella
Oh what I would give for your talent!!!! I would not be sitting at this computer all the time, I promiuse you that. They are just beautiful. I am so glad we managed to find each other again. I lost you. You and Mort and Sybil are about the only ones from Britian I keep up with. Mort can't get rid of me cause there is a bond there since my son had MS also. Lucy
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and say a prayer for my mom and stepdad, it was so kind of you.
I looked through the pictures of all the homemade quilts and you are very talented! They are all so pretty! I wish I could do something as lovely as that, my mother used to quilt but I never took the time to learn and now I wished that I had.
Hope you are having a nice weekend.
xoxo, Heather
