My father died unexpectedly over a year ago, my mother is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's, the owner of my sewing shop (who was a great friend and inspiration)died last year and my husband and I decided to close our business after 20 years due to the economy and being tired of fighting a losing battle. The QB is always there for me. There are those of you who are shining examples of what is good about the world and you(maybe unknowingly)inspire me to keep going and keep quilting. You model a life of kindness, doing good works, encouraging each other, sharing and caring. Thank you so much!
