Quilters are the best

And I received proof of that today. The mailman delivered a package to me. "Home is where the heart is" hug quilt. My deepest thanks to everyone who made a block or held a good thought for us in this time of transition. We don't have a home yet so are living with my parents. My mother needs supervision and some assistance since she is in hospice care with renal failure and an incurable blood disease that will lead to leukemia if she lives long enough. She has improved since I moved here the end of Feb so now I do have time to make quilts again. DH has found a job as a night auditor at a local hotel. Tho it doesn't pay much, it is an income and we are able to pay our bills and save some too so that when we can look for a place of our own, we will have funds put aside. Regardless of where we hang our hat, the quilt will be prominently displayed as a reminder of friends we have never seen.



Thanks again and God bless.


I saw a photo of your finished quilt......what a kind deed. I hope you and your dh are settled soon and that your mom keeps improving. God Bless YOU!

Thanks, Laurie. But we know any improvement in Mom is only temporary. After the past 16 months or so, I wonder if we will ever be settled again.

Yeah!!!!! It got there. So very cool! Enjoy, my friend!

You know I will, my friend. Right now its on the back of my chair at the sewing machine. I will take it to our bedroom in the basement later tonight.

I just know, Mary, that you will feel the support and strength in your heart and home hug. We send you our warmest wishes for the better times to come even while life is so heavy. We hold you close in our hearts, up in our prayers and now can wrap you in our collective and personal touch. We are here for you, Polly

I just couldn't seem to quit playing with your hug block, Mary. It insisted on a spider web and last year's Christmas decorations, just anything to tickle you. When the house called for a tv antenna with a kite caught in it, I said, "That's it. That's enough." It was great to see that the other rctq-ers were sending you smiles too. Now "Dry up", our mamas would say, and let the hug do its job. Polly

"maryd" you went and made me cry again,((Polly)).> --
