Merry Christmas From Hoppin BobbinUpdate on Quilts for Superstorm Sandy
I have received a phone call from one of the mothers whose daughter received a donated quilt. By the time I was done talking to her, I was in tears. She went on and on about how her daughter, Radiance, loved her quilt and that it would be cherished for the rest of her life. An email sent by another family stated how grateful they were and how much it was appreciated for the help for the children at their school. You ladies have touched SO MANY lives!!!! Your hard work, donations of time and supplies are so appreciated. Thank you for all that you have done! I can't say it enough............. I have the BEST clients here at Hoppin Bobbin! You are all fantastic!
We are still taking donations for this wonderful cause! Hoppin Bobbin Quilters have been quilting away getting tops finished to donate to families in the Brentwood, NY area. If you have monetary donations, a quilt top, finished quilt or fabrics to donate to this cause, or any of the items that were listed above in Patti's note, please bring those items in to Hoppin Bobbin during regular business hours. We are still looking for donations of time, to help get these quilted and binded. There will be more quilts and items taken to NY in January. If you are able to help in any way, please contact us at 410 272 2226 and we will help you get in touch with the coordinator of this project.

Thanks to all of you that have kept Mary Lou on your prayer list. Mom is slowly but surely recovering from the pneumonia. While you won't see her at the shop a whole lot any more, she is frantically working on projects for you at home. She will spend most of her time teaching when she is here now and I think you'll be seeing her on Fridays for the sew in days as well. She has some fabulous new ideas for classes and events and we are looking forward to seeing them come into place.
I personally still don't have all of my personal Christmas projects finished but hope to do so in the next couple days. Almost 200 yards of batting and 55 projects in one and a half months and all of the Christmas quilts and gifts are done for customers. I have had to give Bessie, and myself, a few days to recooperate and she will be back up and running again to get the 30+ "non-Christmas" quilts finished asap. So, I hope you are getting your Christmas projects done and that you are staying sane doing your Christmas shopping, wrapping, cooking and prepping for the big day. Please be sure to stop and ENJOY it! I want to say thank you to so many people who have shown me such kindness and generosity over the last several weeks. I have received cards, cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, candles, breads and a fabulous sewing machine ornament (that everyone wants to buy now) over the last several weeks. I want all of you to know that your gifts have been so unexpected and greatly appreciated. Your have overwhelmed my heart and I want you to know that each and everyone of you, touch my life on a daily basis. I can honestly say that I have the most thoughtful, and greatest clients on earth. You guys are fabulous. I hope that everyone of you has a very blessed and Merry Christmas and that you get to spend it with those you love. Thank you so much for making mine blessed and for your thoughtfulness.
Merry, Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year! Kelly and Tootsie ***** Please remember that Hoppin bobbin will Close on Saturday December 22 at 4pm to celebrate the Holiday with our families.
