IMG_6670
when i wrote about africa i sent a picture and link to amy butler herself.
i told her that "i thought you'd like to see how far your book went and what we did with it"
she wrote back.
she and her staff had read all my posts about africa and they were excited and wanted to DO MORE.

she asked what we needed.
i told her patterns and fabric.

she sent it.
Mallory is part of amy's staff….and so nice.
two boxes arrived.
one with patterns and books.
one with three bags of fabric!

don't you LOVE the LOVE line even more now?!

i do.

i wish i could see the boys faces when they get this.
erin and chris are missionaries with word made flesh from nebraska, living is freetown.
they are visiting their family in the states for a few weeks and they will bring this back to the boys.

i am so happy.
i am so excited for them.
i love that amy's heart is so big.
i miss africa.

tasha roe - i get all teary-eyed when i look at your Africa pictures. those babies, children, families, loved ones. sigh! makes my heart ache because i feel helpless.

Tracy Fisher - Meg, Thank you for sharing your stories. You don’t know the impact it has made on me… and many others I am sure. I am taking our two kids to Mexico with our church this July. My husband can’t come (work), but for some reason I was called. I got scared then remembered two quotes that hang next to my computer in my studio. One says “OVERCOME FEAR. BEHOLD WONDER – don’t know author.” The other says “FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY! – creator of Jimmy Choo Shoes”. So, off we go. You give me guts!!! Thank you 🙂

elisabeth (bovagoods) - oh, how i love amy butler. she is so generous. i fell in love with the colors she painted her booth at market a few years back. (saw the pictures of the booth on her website.)on a whim, i emailed her to see if she would give me the paint colors. she did! her hubby emailed me back and so did she! i painted my room right up with those colors and then made a big old quilt from her belle line of fabrics. it’s nice to know she is still so very generous after all of her continued success.
