I'm thankful for my health, my family, my job, my home, my car, my pets, that I can have so much fun with a sewing machine (or knitting needles or crochet hook) and some material (or yarn) and I'm really thankful for Quilting Board.

I am thankful for every day I can spend with my DH, after he had a stroke almost 6 years ago I realized what love truly is. The day I brought him home from the hospital was one of the happiest days of my life.
We have become so much closer and spend so much time just talking and laughing, more than we did before.

When your friend's husband is clinging to life by a thread today, it gives you time to reflect and really take stock of your life. I am truly thankful for a loving God who gave me mercy and forgiveness. I am thankful for a loving husband, children and friends. I am thankful for a roof over my head and shoes on my feet. I am thankful that I can still get around even if I do have to use a walker. I am thankful for being able to crochet, knit, quilt and be able to read all the great books available. I am thankful for all my QB friends who are so helpful and kind. Life is a blessing and I am so grateful to be able to enjoy it.

patski 09-25-2011 11:47 AM

my husband and healthy children a wonderful step daughter and son in law and our one and only grandson.

Besides that I am thankful that I have enough to share when someone needs help

Cattyqwltr 09-25-2011 11:48 AM

I have a new job to help pay for my fabric, a loving husband who supports my hobby, good health, two wonderful cats, and too many other things to list.

Like most of you I am thankful for the health of my family. I am thankful that my kids are growing into great people. I am thankful for my husband and all that he does and has done for us over the past 20 yrs. I am thankful that in this econmny he has job security.

There are so many things I am thankful for the list could go on and on, but one thing is for sure I am thankful for all the new friends I have found on this board. You gals/guys are seriously a great bunch of people and most would give the quilt off your bed to help a friend out I just wish we could all live in the same community.

Blessing to you all
