Welcome from upstate NY where it's cold and sleeting. For whatever reason you are here, welcome.

Welcome from Central California. Be patient with yourself; you will quilt when the time is right. It is very hard to loose a child and healing comes slow.

Welcome from Vermont. This board will help you with all the cheer and wisdom it has from all over the world. May you find comfort and peace and sharing and caring here.

Hi Alice,
My deepest condolences on your loss. You will find inspiration and friendships here.

Welcome to the board. So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing a child. So, for now hang out with us here while you begin to heal and the mood will come to return to quilting. I hope your grandkids will someday pick up her pieces and begin their own legacy. How about showing us some things you or she quilted?

Hello from New York State. I too am so sorry for the passing of your daughter. You will love this message board. It's the best one I know of. Lots of helpful, friendly, people.

welcome from long island.

Welcome from South Louisiana. I haven't lost a child, but I lost both my sisters. Once there was 3 and now there's just me. My heart goes out to you. If you start on some of her sewing, you might feel like she is standing there with you. I know that when you can start on it, she will be happy.
