    The best virtual wedding shower this side of…well the whole entire world for Abby of Life in the Super Burbs. If you do not know who Abby is (shame on you!) then you maybe missing out on one fantabulous person, blogger, and soon to be WIFE!!!

    Here’s how all this came about. A bunch of us superwomen were on Twitter…OK we are always on Twitter…and we were getting all excited about our sweet Abby’s upcoming nups. I came up with one of my better ideas and said “Let’s have a virtual shower for Abby!” Now you would think with all the women involved from all over the country and world this would be next to impossible! Not with these ladies! Suzy of Dog N’ Bird contacted Andrea Bell (quilter EXTRAORDINAIRE please check out her Etsy store!) and made a deal with Andrea and before ya knew it…we had a quilt. A damn fine quilt, I might add!

    Each of us had to submit a quote or write something really sweet message to Abby to be stitched on the quilt. We each got to submit two. Here is one of mine…

    YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

    This is one of my most favorite quotes, which I do not share often because it is just that special. I picked this quote for Abby’s quilt two reasons. The obvious is our dear beautiful, fun-loving, classy, amazing blogger and all around sweetheart, Abby, is getting married, which is a pure and amazing blessing. To find someone in a great big world like ours that will love, live, and be with you through all of life’s ups and downs is not a miracle. It is a true blessing. A blessing that continues throughout the good and the bad. A blessing that does not need to be seen nor heard to know of its existence; it is solely and purely felt with the heart.

    Although, many of us have never heard each other’s voices, sat down for a cup of joe, or live on the same continent the admiration, support, respect, and genuine kindness, we share amongst each other is felt purely by our hearts. Who could have guessed that 140 characters could bring together  some of the most amazing women that I am so honored to call my friends. Thank you, Twitter.

     

    Abby,

    OMG the day is almost here! Congratulations on this very important step in your life. May God bless you both and keep you in his care today and always. May you never walk in darkness and may his divine light evermore light your way, together.

    Love you lots, my friend! Naomi
