Good Guess

Nancy over at Wyoming Breezes had a contest to see who could guess how many small quilt squares were in a pile...my guess of 233 was real close.  Nancy makes Quilts of Valor for Veterans in Wyoming, she also knits!

Nancy said a package was on the way.  I had no idea what was inside that package.  It arrived safely and it is just perfect! Nancy kept encouraging me to keep knitting socks!  She knows me well as she and I have been following each others blogs for many years.

Sock yarn and a Christmas Ornament!  Thank you so much Nancy!  The ornament will be a great reminder of our special friendship!

So nice to have such great blogging friends. I have received lots from you, Connie, but I have nothing to send you back. I wouldn't know how to begin! :-)

What a nice gift from Nancy. I enjoy using Paton's Kroy because it's so hard wearing. The ornament is perfect for Wyoming too. :-) We'll be spending the night in Casper next week, I wish it were a bit closer to her so we could meet.
Blessings,
Betsy

I remember seeing memo with all her blocks stacks in a pile. The older she go the larger the blocks becomes so the workload would be less. It is nice you won the contest.
