I have three wonderful sisters. My sisters have easily received an unfair distribution of talents and I am in awe of all that they can do. They are all different and each excels in each of many areas wonderfully. It is sometimes overwhelming to try to keep up so I have basically stopped trying. You go girls, I will get there eventually.
One day in an especially trying and lonely time in my life I received a lifeline. Sherry is especially good at creativity and involving people in fun activities.
This letter along with some small squares of fabric came to my house. And then in the coming weeks and months more little notes came and more squares of fabric.
It has taken, I think, 9 years for me to finish this quilt. I am happy to say I am now done.
I think I frustrated Sherry along this path, but this quilt has and will always represent the love and great talents of my sister.
I am not good at thinking of the right thing at the right time, or even of expressing my gratitude effectively but thank you Sherry for thinking of me and you will never know the affect that this and all of your other talents have had on my life.
Between my sisters they have all the talents wrapped up and are so willing to share endlessly with all those around them. Thank you for the great example to me and my daughter of how a daughter of God treats others. You are truly remarkable women!!

Nice work Jenni!!
Beautiful quilt! I think you are selling yourself short though. I have always been amazed at your gifts and talents. Spirituality, on the go mother, service oriented.... the list goes on...
I agree with Rae Anne, who made all those beautiful dresses I used to Hem and sew lace on. Each one of you are unique in your own way and I dearly love each of you.
Thanks for the blog....I was just thinking we need to start another one. Of course you are the one with the talent for compliments. Something I need to glean more from you. Thanks again
Did you get your quilts back? It looks beautiful, well done! I second everything everyone else said too! You have amazing talents!!!
