Dear Mrs. Wilkerson's Class - and especially the child who chose me,
Thank
you so much for leaving Heart Tile #39 for me at the front door of my
needlepoint shop, Homestead Needle Arts at 8185 Holly Road in the Grand
Ridge Galleria shopping center.
First let me
say that you have made me feel very welcome here! Your gesture of
leaving the tile as a gift was very heartwarming!
On
Valentine's Day I was in the process of getting my shop ready to open
as I have moved it from Saginaw Street. My husband has been helping me
by hanging hardware on the walls at the shop. He found the tile outside
the door and thought it was something I had dropped! I read the back
of the tile and
found that one of you had included me in your 100 Warm Hearts Project.
Thank you!
The things that I find the most
heartwarming in life include my husband, my dog Star (who helps at the
shop), my sisters and brothers - I have five siblings! - and my hobbies
of which needlepoint is only one. I like to stitch just about anything,
read, knit, bike and fish. I wish all of you the very best things in
life and thank you again for choosing me to participate in your project.

I have a funny story to tell you. I left the tile outside your door at about 8:55pm on Wednesday night. I saw you in the shop. Your dog was watching me through the window! I wondered what she must be thinking as I put the tile next to the door. I told my students the story about the dog the next day. :)
