I thought you would all want to know how very loving, kind and so special I feel quilters are. I quilt with a group of women on Wednesdays. There are about 20 of us, mainly older women (I'm next to the youngest). My family has been very sick for the past 2 weeks and it may extend for my DH and myself for another 4 weeks (due to lung complications).

Several of them got together and one came by my house just now with homemade chili, TP, paper towels, laundry soap, homemade cookies, canned goods, juice, a Halloween gift for our 8 year old son and $200 in cash to help with bills. I'm in tears as I type, Unbelievable that there are such good people in this world!!!

I thought I'd share my special moment :D :D

sewnsewer2 10-30-2009 12:57 PM

What a kind and generous thing for them to do.

That was very sweet of them.

Chele 10-30-2009 01:00 PM

Quilters are a generous and loving bunch! Hope you guys are feeling better soon!

MollieSue 10-30-2009 01:02 PM

I'm guessing they're just giving back some of what you've given them. For them to do all of that, you must be pretty special yourself!! :D :D
I hope you all get well soon!!!

MadQuilter 10-30-2009 01:27 PM

It's all in the Kharma. The old saying "you reap what you sew" indicates that you are well deserving. Hope your situation improves very soon.

Hugs from CA.

That is just so so special. I hope things improve soon.

P.S. Suzi isn't even saying how dog sick she has been with pneumonia!

littlehud 10-31-2009 08:14 PM

That was so sweet. What loving and caring people.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 10-31-2009 08:24 PM

What a great gift!!

Bevanger 11-01-2009 06:02 AM

how sweet and thoughtful. i hope everyone gets well soon

Ducky 11-01-2009 07:21 AM

Oh, now that is very touching! It's so wonderful to hear things like that, when so much of what we read/hear is so negative and critical toward others. Like Mad say, you reap what you sew. You are very deserving, Suzi. That is an amazing group of women and you can tell them they are getting a standing ovation.

Esqmommy 11-01-2009 07:37 AM

Wow, you received a wonderful gift!! What lovely friends you have - sounds like it came at a great time!

Knot Sew 11-01-2009 03:56 PM

thats wonderful...nice people know nice people :D

Iluv2quilt 11-02-2009 08:50 AM

I'm so grateful to have met each and every one of them and each one of you also. I've found more than just a quilt related life when I started this hobby. I've found kind, loving, generous, caring people.

Thank you all!! Was at the hospital Sat. - pneumonia in both lungs, now have thrush from the medicine. I'll see the Dr. today at 3, keeping well hydrated and resting as much as is possible for me. Still not at my sewing machine - can't stand too long to cut material.

nellie 11-02-2009 10:58 PM

what a blessing you recieved from beauitful friends

k3n 11-03-2009 03:35 AM

Suzi, I'm so sorry I hadn't realised you were sick, I'm so pleased you got some well-deserved love and support. Sending you hugs and hoping you feel better really soon. :)

Ninnie 11-03-2009 04:13 AM

That is a wonderful group of friends and quilters!!

Boston1954 11-03-2009 02:34 PM

Just when I am thinking the world is a sty, something happens that returns my faith in people. Puts a smile on your face, doesn't it?

Definitely puts a smile on my face and also stirs something in my heart to help someone else in need. :D

Esqmommy 11-04-2009 07:59 AM

How are you today? I hope getting better - that pneumonia is no joke!

kat112000 11-04-2009 08:26 AM

What a great group!

Hope you get on the mend soon! Pneumonia is awful and then to get thrush on top of that, you poor thing!!!!

Iluv2quilt 11-04-2009 09:05 AM

Yesterday I went back to the Drs office to see the nurse practioner and she prescribed a pill for the thrush. I laid down for the rest of the day (very unusual for me) and went to bed around 7:30/8:00. Got up at 4:30 a.m. but today I feel soooooo much better!!!! I have some energy, I can swallow and I can breathe!! It seems the medicine worked!!!! :D :D :D I have to be careful tho, I usually do too much when I start feeling better, I don't want to relapse.

Thank you all for your care and concern, it means so much to have people who care!

Quilt4u 11-05-2009 03:06 AM

Yes Quilters are Special people.We have alot here. Hope you and your family are feeling better.
