Never in my life have I felt so close to so many people whom I count as friends that I haven't ever seen before. WE ARE KINDRED SPIRITS. WE have a love for quilts and the making of them that keeps us close, like sisters and brothers. Maybe that is why we get our feelings hurt once in a while, but it is definitely what brings us together in love and friendship. We get our group hug every day that we read this forum, and I thank you all for that. You are all a big part of my life.
