Y'all have heard of me talk about the Pillow Talk Swap over on Flickr, yes? You also know of that saying that goes, "good things come to those who wait"?
{{sorry I need a break to go jump up and down and squeal again.........brb}}
...
Ok....sorry about that. Trying to contain my excitement enough to write this post!! Wanna know why??!!
Ok, lemme tell ya since you've gone and twisted my arm all up ... hee hee!
Let me introduce you to Ryan of Ryan Walsh Quilts. He is an uber cool dude and he quilts and stuff! Click over there on his name and spend some time {{hours}} over on his blog looking at all the fun stuff he has made! He has some really great projects and tutorials too! But before you go.....
LOOKIE WHAT HE SENT ME FOR PILLOW TALK 4!!!!! {{breathes in a bag....}}
My son came toodling in after school with a big ole box in his hands. I saw the return address and snatched the box very nicely from my kid! I knew...I knew what was in it because just a few days ago Ryan posted this on his blog....
I felt like a kid in a candy store!!
This is what I pulled out of the box... {{squeals!}}
First a yummy chocolate bar!!! Mmmmm!!!
Then look at this adorable turtle puppet!! Hahahhaah!!! Totally cute and I was so giggling!
Oh...and THEN he included some stationary in the Hope Valley line print!! {{swoon!}}
Oh...and then....oh be still my heart....look at all those hexies and that pebble quilting!!!! He even cut out a turtle from the fabric and stitched it down!! O. M. G!!!! In NEPTUNE none the less!!! {{faints.....}}
You hit the nail on the head with me and I will cherish this pillow forevah and evah! Someday I'll give you a big ole hug for it in person!! Thank you doesn't seem like it's enough to say, but thank you, from the bottom of my heart! <3
Much Love!!!
Oh it is so cute! Lovin the little turtle puppet too.. it made me giggle.

ReplyDeleteyou know i want it.. you know i've been stalking it... and i can't believe you even put in the post that i can't have it. we are SO not friends anymore. & i may or may not have known this was coming your way from a phone conversation that i may or may not have had this week. all i saying is i'm not good at keeping secrets and this might be why we didn't talk much this week. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLucky girl! This is one of my favorite pillows ever. I know I should put it on the todo list but this might make it even longer then your 10 miles :D
ReplyDeleteThat is my dream pillow! I would love one of those!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like the pillow Karrie! Your post made me smile!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky lucky B!! I want that pillow too; maybe I'll make my own version!! You should just take it lots of places and photograph it so I can live vicariously through you and your pillow :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, how lucky can one be! The pillow is just incredible.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous Karrie, the pebble quilting is amazing. I have a stash of neptune fabric awaiting a special project. I am also a lover of turtles, they nest on the beach across the road from where I live this time of year. We are one beach down from the Mon Repos rookery. The hatchlings are just starting to make an appearance and there is something just so special about getting to see all of this.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing package! Love it all! Great pillow!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous pillow. I'm just starting to get serious about re-pillowing my house and this blog is an inspiration. (Seriously, my whole house needs new pillows)
ReplyDeletethat pillow is STUNNING! I've been desperately trying to find so much as a charm pack from Neptune and am failing miserably... so jealous, but that's such as awesome swap package - YAY for you! :D
