What a kind and wonderful thing for Wildyard to do. Thank you so very much.

Good luck with your treatments. We will all be praying for you.

I don't think any of us on the Board think of other members as "strangers". We're all family here and I pray your chemo goes well.

I still can't believe that she went to so much trouble for a complete stranger, but this quilt is now one of my most prized possessions - both for its beauty and the love that went into it.

Wildyard - you are a very special person and the world is a better place because of your presence in it.

people like that is why I love this board, you get something everyday to warm your heart. :P :-P :lol:

Yet another co-conspirator comes out of the woodwork, lol. You have a very special relative there :thumbup:

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and wishes. I would appreciate it if you would all please add in another couple of people I know. Both have young families and both have just been diagnosed with lymphoma.

I can't take any credit for helping, just seeing her generosity. I'd love to help to put a quilt hug around someone in need!

Just one more indication that quilters are really special people! Praying that your chemo goes well and that all will be well. May God grant you healing and comfort. :lol:

Is there something special in the makeup of people who do crafts??? This is an awesome thing for a "stranger" to do for someone. I know many of you donate also. I belong to a Swwedish Weave forum also and the ladies and gents there are so supportive and complimentary of each other. When I retired I missed the commardity of people at the workplace. This group and others have filled the gap so well.
Good luck to you as you fight the Big C.
