From my heart to yours, dear friend. <BR/>Carol's quilt is lovely and what a wonderful gift - she is a big-hearted, generous lady, isn't she? You are very deserving of every good thing that comes your way, so says I!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628639090267311898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-31620827197084358072008-12-24T06:41:00.000-08:002008-12-24T06:41:00.000-08:00I just had to stop in and say how delightful it is...I just had to stop in and say how delightful it is to see the strong bond between quilters. It is so wonderful when people who have never met each other can feel like life long friends. Quilting is the blessing I discovered just last March when I was told by my doctorthat he didn't anticipate any relief on the horizon for my Scleroderma. After receiving this news, my sister in law introduced me to quilting and it changed my entire outlook on life. I found that when sit down to sew, I lose myself totally in the task at hand. I'm still new, and slow at it but I can sew for hours and never realize that my body is crying out for pain relief, because it isn't. My focus is on the cutting, pressing, sewing and the delightful (well, most of the time, lol) results as the blocks come together, then grow into something larger and beautiful and oh so warm, for both the body and the soul. Quilters hold a special bond and after reading your post, and seeing the beautiful gifts that you know came from heart as well as hands, I am so greatful to belong to the ranks of true quilters. Which by the way, I can finally claim because I finished my very first quilt just last week, a king sized bedspread in the Amish Star Spin pattern that will be lovinging placed on my bed tonight, Christmas Eve. I will finally know the feeling of climbing under a lovely, if not perfect quilt that I made. Though I have to use a machine to piece my quilts as my hands don't work for hand sewing anymore, the feeling of accomplishment is amazing to me. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of your beautiful gifts and the quilts you have made. Now I have rambled more than enough to make everyones eyelids drop so I'll just close now. But thanks for listening.<BR/> In Friendship,<BR/> Nancy Jo (not really anonymous, I just can't remember my password...a senior moment, sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-81193887766282716092008-12-23T18:18:00.000-08:002008-12-23T18:18:00.000-08:00True friends are the best "gifts" of the season. ...True friends are the best "gifts" of the season.
