The thankyou snails

indebted : owing gratitude or recognition to another for help or favors etc

I have been feeling indebted lately - that's the only way to explain it.
I feel indebted to every person who has sent or promised to send me some selvedge for any of my projects.
But not just indebted because I received actual things , but indebted too for the time it takes people to chop them off, package them up and the time and cost to send them to me.
Apart from things I am indebted for every little note or card or good wish that arrives in my mailbox or the good wishes and encouragement I get here everyday in the comments. The funny emails, the suggestions, the links.
I feel indebted to the whole of blogland for their support, inspiration and hilarity.
I feel like I get far more from this bloggy relationship than I put in.
So enough with the soppy stuff I just want to say thanks and let you know you're appreciated.
Please meet chiffon, poplin and corduroy. I might not be able to make one of these for every person in blogland..............
but I could rustle up a tutorial if you like?
