I was completely surprised when they each held up HeartStrings blocks they'd made and presented them to me - I had to come home, lay them out quickly and snap a photo to share.
Isn't this the cutest fabric? They used this heart print for their centers and Cynthia gave me the rest of the fabric to use in finishing the quilt.
Cynthia, who contacted me about speaking was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. As I watched their meeting, I was really impressed with how organized they are and how much education they do. I saw some feather star blocks from a class, a beautiful mystery quilt, a quilted bag, and several other really pretty quilts during their show and tell.

Mary, How wonderful that the guild presented you with those heartstring blocks! Very nice indeed.
Also, thanks for the great blogs, pictures and directions for quilts. I enjoy seeing how you've quilted the donation quilts-- which pantos, etc that you use. Wonderful inspiration for me.

That fabric is great. What a nice thing for the group to do!
Those blocks were so very thoughtful of them!
I never doubted that you'd be a great speaker; your work speaks for itself. I hope you had a good time.
How fun! That fabric just makes the blocks! Wish I had been at that meeting. I enjoy seeing your pics and reading your blogs daily! Take care! Woofs to Chesty! Jennifer

The heart fabric is gorgeous. What a lovely quilt it's going to turn out to be.
No word from Alexandra's Mum yet, but still hoping.
That was really nice of them. Almost done on your goals! Gooooo Mary!!
I was thinking about you! I bet once you got going, it was all natural for you, Mary. This group and what we do is so wonderful to talk about, I bet you had them spellbound. Good for you to push your comfort zone! And YEAH for their response to you via Heartstring blocks & fabric. That's just so cool. Way to go!
Well done!
Love the blocks they presented you.
Feel like coming to our guild to talk? Would love to have you!!! So if you are ever in New Zealand .....

What a great experience, and how nice of them to have blocks all ready to give you! I'm sure your presentation will have increased their enthusiasm, too.
Just checking out the HeartStrings blogring for the first time!!
