I have never had anyone make me a quilt AND they were awesome. People all over the world make blocks and Screwystewy on this board put them together and longarmed them. She uses it almost everynight and looks intently at all the different blocks.
Anyway, I always like to help people. My mum used to say " People are important, use every opportunity to help them". I read the board messages almost every day and thank God for all the angels on this board.

Blessings on all the people who made the blocks, on Stewyscrewy for quilting them and on you and Cathy. Praying that all is well with you both. God be with you all. What a wonderful place this is and the people that make it so.

I agree!!! Many of the quilters have send fabric (and other supplies) to me for the children at work to quilt with. I get excited when a box comes and when I take it to work the look on the children's face is PRICELESS!! They are having so much fun with their new fabric and have helped put it all neatly on the shelves. They are giving back by making 2 little boys (ages 3 & 5) a quilt. The boys dad is in the army and has been deployed and they miss him. So the children said this is how we CAN help someone just like the nice people helped us!

I Love this board!!

I have met a couple of nice people from this board and we are now emailing each other. It is nice to be able to share with someone who understands your passion about quilting. I belong to a bom group that meets once a month, also a ufo group that meets once a month. I really look forward to these nights. Everyone has so many fun and interesting things to show and discuss. Some things are not even quilt related.

I agree. Wouldn't it be great to have a quilt retreat for the peole of this board or we could call it a family reunion. I feel like family with a lot of people on this board.
That would be great.

Wow, these posts made my day! I have always been a giving person, but not a quilter. I give by entertaining and comedic help or giving baked goods. In this day and age, giving someone a cake or cookies is not the best way to love with the numerous calories and most folks are fighting the "battle of the bulge!"

I'm so excited that I start my first quilt class tomorrow! So hoping that I meet some people like the ones on this board!
