The sweetest people in all the land…

are the Bagettes. I love them so, not only did they have a Bon Voyage brunch for me today, they secretly made me this incredibly lovely quilt…


In the words of Bagette Kathleen:
All the Baggettes contributed the squares, including the remote members Aunt Frances and Smoky Mountain Bag Lady.  Harmony sent the backing from California and some of Teresa's favorite samples.  Margaret, Carole and Ann did some artistically pieced squares and stitched the top together.  Kathleen did the machine quilting and Margaret did the binding.  We all did the surprising at Sunday Brunch to wish Teresa a Bon Voyage with this beautiful quilt for our Green Bag Lady. 

Teresa you inspire each of us with your creativity, your energy and your enthusiasm to "change the world one bag at a time."  

Best Wishes, Safe Travels and Love from your Friends,
The Bagettes


From L to R: Bagettes Leyla, Alicia, Barbara (front) April, Carole, me, Connie, Freida, Kathleen, Ann, Chelsea and Margaret (a few people could not make it today, Rachel, Karen, Doris, Joanne and of course our remote Bagettes, Dad, Harmony, Sara & Frances)
I promise to take some more detailed photos of the quilt and post them tomorrow. Happy President's Day! Teresa
