Blue Quilt Pin

.

Sold one of these pins yesterday to a woman in California who bought it for her mom, a quilter, to wear to quilt shows and meetings. I love when people write me a note on their orders. In fact, this was her first purchase on Etsy! I'm honored.

Remember how I said I always stress when sending out a mailing to my Pine Tree Designs customers? I have more proof I'm being ridiculous about that. I've heard from several people who just wanted to say they can't make it to Sunday's event but always like hearing what I'm up to. I heard from a woodworker who also sells his wares at Artizanns. I heard from a show promoter I work with a lot, telling me about the new venue for one of her fall shows. I heard from an aunt in Florida.

Maybe it wasn't a mistake to send the email to my entire mailing list instead of just my local list. Hmmm, happy accident? Lesson learned.

Best of all, I heard from Suzanne, the owner of Artizanns, who said, in part, "Thanks so much for your continued support and promotion. I wish everyone, including myself, had the time/talent to promote Artizanns the way you always do . . . you're wonderful."

She's not working on Sunday but promised to stop by the store to see me.

And she ordered 30 more Sticky Notes!

Life is good.
