When Hurricane Gustav was coming at us, I took my very own precious, beloved Hug and carefully put it out of harm's way. I pulled it around me and snuggled its messages around me first. (Once upon a hurricane, someone took one of my quilts and nailed it over a blown-out window and I didn't want my rctq hug to perform that duty.) Are you a Hugger? Would you like to join us? You don't need to be skilled or a participant in our rctq for decades - just somebody that would like to comfort someone we think needs to be wrapped in our warm best wishes, prayers and love. "What is a Hug?" is documented better somewhere. ( Help me direct to where.) I just wanted to urge and validate their weight. Weight? a strange word but indeed their power is weighty. Join us if you would like to hug. We welcome all. Polly

Hey Polly
Our hugs must have been talking to us. I to snuggled down into its comforting folds and read again the words of comfort written upon it. Suddenly all the fears of the storm seemed to melt away and I felt everything would be alright.

They are very powerful. On my mom's birthday following the one year anniversary of her death, I snuggled me and Joey (her dog) in ours and watched her favorite TV shows.
In the evening I went out to dinner with my hubby at her favorite type of restaurant - Chinese Buffet. On the way in we saw an amazing sight
- a double rainbow. I have never seen anything like that before!

One more thing about joining us in hugging - you do not have to be in the Directory and your name and address will NEVER be published. You do not have to send Pat in Virginia chocolate. ( Of course, you
*can* if you'd like to.) All you need to do is send an email to our Kate G who's the keeper of the hug plans. Careful there. We have a Kate G, Kate T and Kate D. Maybe others but that's all that comes to mind just now. Polly"WitchyStitcher" They are very powerful. On my mom's birthday following the one year

And, you can participate when you want, on the level you want. I know from working on them, delivering two, and receiving one, that a HUG just gives you "warm fuzzies" even making a block to send off to be included with other blocks.

I agree, Polly ... especially about the part in parentheses!
Hug participation is sporadic for me. Even when I can't participate, I do keep the cause in my thoughts and say a prayer for the hug recipients. PAT in VA/USA
