Save the Thimble!

After 80 years Hasbro has announced that they are going to "modernize" the board game experience for players of Monopoly by replacing one of their tokens with a more up-to-date marker.  Fans can log onto Facebook (https://apps.facebook.com/saveyourtoken/) or Twitter (with the hashtag #token vote) to vote.  

The thimble has always been my token of choice, and if someone else selected it first I felt as if I might as well just close my eyes and grab one of the others.  It really didn't matter if I couldn't have my favorite!  

I am appealing to my fellow quilters.  Help save the thimble!!!  Vote today!!!

Love Seeing Baby Quilts Being Used

I was so happy to see this photo on FaceBook this morning!  

I told you about the quilt I made for Naomi in this post.  I am happy to report that Naomi's daughter, Katelyn Anne, has arrived.  She went home from the hospital covered in her quilt.  I am so glad I didn't wait until she was born before mailing it.  How special that she is using it her very first day out of the hospital.  Quilters love to see people using quilts instead of "saving" them!
