I was elated to see Cheryl's name under the Tea Pot Party challenge today. Sheri, thanks so much for making this happen.
Cheryl is a dear friend and one who has been spiritually supportive of me while I was a caregiver to my husband. Cheryl was and is always so supportive with her kind loving comments that reflect her profound faith in God. She is also a most gifted and generous stamper to others in need of support.
Our worlds have changed a bit recently: Cheryl is experiencing intense chronic neurological pain. Cheryl's husband has come to her aid with helping her do the smallest of tasks. I'm thinking, right about now, Cheryl could use some cheering up from the teapotters.
As usual, I cheated "again" today. Sheri had asked us to bring scissors and other related incidentals to the party today to prevent the quilt from further unraveling. I didn't bring scissors or needles, but I did bring a pattern image and a button. I'm here on a wing and a prayer hoping that my humor will help everyone else prevent unnecessary damage to the quilt.
Cheryl, enjoy the spirit of the famous tea partiers who've crafted some wonderfully creations to send your way. Hugs and love, Anne

Anne, your card is fabulous! It brings back so many memories of going to JC Penney's with my mom and waiting while she sorted through all of the pattern packs. She loved making my clothes. Me.....I can't sew worth a lick, but I did love to watch her on her old Singer sewing machine....I loved watching the foot pedal go back and forth. Weird, huh? Anyway, back to your card....I LOVE it and I know Cheryl will too! Hugs!

As others have commented, this brings me right back to the days when I created with fabric ..... Cheryl will love the theme of your beautifully designed card.
