I have a wonderful best friend whose life is so hard. She takes care of everyone . Her Mom passed a way this year, her 43 yr old stepson has been living on her couch for 5 yrs now, and her recovering alchoholic sister lives with her. I told her she needed a break and asked her to come and sew. I would teach her to quilt. Well yesterday her , my granddaughter and my youngest daughter all came over for a sewing Saturday. Everyone had a great time and my BFF left with TWO quilts to bind. Yes she peiced and quilted them both, She told me she hasn't had that much fun in a long time. Noone to think about but herself. My DH even grilled our lunch for us. She said she definately needed more fabric therapy so we all decided to meet each month to have one day just for us. I was so glad I could teach her to quilt and to give her much needed ME time. I think we all need that once in a while.

What a special friend you are. You knew what she needed and gave her that ME time. Blessings to you both.

A very nice thing you did for your friend. She was probably dreaming of quilts last night.

With your support, maybe she can get rid of the free-loaders. They need to take care of her for a change.

What a great thing to do. It's so depressing to see a good person being taken advantage of like that. I have lived it myself (not as bad as she is Thank the Lord!) and it's a horrible way to live.
