Melissa’s Quilts -N-Crafts
Melissa Faircloth--(WV)
“I put out a request for poems not sure what kind of response I'd get. Only to
be humbled by the overwhelming response of love people had for myself,
personally, or just the love of poetry in general. Either way Anne responded
by sending me a number of beautiful poems. Graciously sharing her talent with
me. God has truly blessed her with the gift of poetry and I praise God that
she was a willing vessel and used her gift to send me her poems. Anne’s poetry
was used in a very special quilt called Poetic Sue.” “Anne, you write
wonderful poems. I hope you don't mind I printed them out to read and re-read.
They brought tears to my eyes and goose bumps.”
Kathy Fretwell Gandy
Published Author/Poet--(AL)
“Though I haven't met her in person, she seems to be a very sweet and sincere
person. She is a gifted writer, and she also has a wonderful talent for
creating things. I also have read two of her books, and found them to be very
touching.”
Rick Harris Christian
website, “Planting His Seeds”--(WA)
“One of the poems that I posted to my website was ---If These Walls Could
Talk---written by Anne. Not only is it a beautiful poem, but one that has a
very important message for anyone who reads it, myself included. Sometimes
people get so wrapped up in the world that they forget important things that
the Lord taught us and this poem by Anne serves as a wake-up call. It did for
me...and I have been blessed every time I read it. Anne has such a God given
talent...she can take ordinary words and transforms them into words that bring
forth tears, happiness, sadness, conviction and so forth...words that cause
one to look down deep inside themselves and causes one to simply stop what
they are doing and reflect on their actions, both in the past and help them to
determine the correct and Godly paths to get back on in the future. If the
words of her poems are any indication whatsoever, then that tells me she had
two fantastic parents who raised her with much love and set very good examples
for her. Anne, may God continue to shower His blessings on you.”
