This Group

I'd like to second Vikki's message. I have gained and stock-piled tons of information from this group. Just recently I learned that one of my cousins is terminally ill. Of course, she needs a quilt! In thinking about what would be fast and meaningful I remembered the many recommendations here for the Warm Wishes pattern. It is perfect! The top flew together. It will be quilted and bound this weekend and, assuming that goes well, off in the mail on Monday.

Thank you all!

Vikki > This is the best group. I know I don't say much on here. After all, what

I can't take any credit for suggestions, but I'd like to thank you for your post. It made me smile and that is a wonderful thing. After the week I've had and the crapola at work, it is a very wonderful thing. So I'm going to contemplate the great compliment you have paid us and spend a couple of days pretending my place of work does not exist. I appreciate you getting my weekend off to a lovely start :-)

Aww...group hug! :)

Servus! And ((hugs)) to you. I can't imagine a day without reading the ng. Somebody always makes me laugh, and somebody always inspires me to try something new. Roberta in D

I absolutely agree with you, Roberta. And the sort of coincidences that occur, as Vikki mentioned, are amazing

A bug jar quilt with bats, snakes, and other things in the jars too. That is going to look so cool. Debra in VA See my quilts at

"Crapola" Think I'll make that my word of the day. :) Elly

I have to agree with you Vikki, this is a neat group to be in. I owe a big Thank You to Pat On the Hill for inviting me in and all you for the big welcome. I've picked up looooaaaads of good info and tips, and had loads of giggles and seen some beautiful work, thanks to you all. Wish I had more hours in the day to read everything... Elly

Okay, that is my laugh for the day!! Crapola is one funny memory, and we used to say that as kids back in the early 60's. (can I be that old?) I am sitting here laughing, and and can hear my brother saying crapola just about all the time, and my Mom being so annoyed at us. Just think what these kids say today. Too funny. Yes, this group is great fun. Karen

Gotta say, A-men!! These ladies (and gentlemen) are the most amazing people EVER!!

I sure wish I was rich enough to send each and every one of them a lifetime supply of chocolate and fabric!! :-)

Goodness, Rita, I'm so sorry!!! Hugs, good vibes, and prayers to you and your family!!

(((((Rita))))

Aw, hush, Debi!! You know you're sweeter than sugar (and not in the least bit fattening!) and one of the most supportive people here!!! :-)

You're always one of the first to give great suggestions, great ideas, great vibes, and great advice!!

I'm sorry work's been givin' you fits!! Do you want to vent?? Lord knows, you're accomodating when others do, so go ahead!!! :-)

Connie, you're the best! Suffice it to say that it has been a combination of being on call for a long time, computer problems with our Radiology Information System that disrupt the entire hospital, and an earache. The first two have been remedied by me not being on call or at work the past few days and the latter by antibiotics and ibuprofen. A trip to the movies today should complete the cure. But thank you so much for the offer to vent. This post might have been *much* longer had I decided to rattle my litany of complaints off a few days ago. Such is the beauty of this place, again reinstated. Friends doing for each other what friends always do, listening and supporting. I love you guys.

I wish you were that rich too :-) Roberta in D
