Finally back to quilting and QB!
 

It has been months since i have been here. We went thru some very hard family issues and it was so upsetting that i could not log on or even sew a stitch. They say all works out with time. Although our situation never got resolved, i am back to reading new posts and sewing quilts. I have managed to turn all the upset into baby quilts to donate and making quilts for family and friends. It's Good to be back!!!!

I am glad you decided to move on. Sometimes it is best to get back into the groove, no matter how difficult. It is nice to hear that you are donating your baby quilts. There are so many people in need. Bless you and keep up the good work.

Bless your heart. I copied this quote from one of the QB members and thought of you. I copied it to send to a friend who just lost her job.

I know that God will not give me more than I can handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~ Mother Teresa

And that's why we say that quilting is good therapy. You have turned some of your troubles into good fortune for someone else, so bless your heart! Keep looking forward. And welcome back.

Glad you are feeling up to reading the board and making quilts. Situations that life hands each of us are hard but some are harder than others. I hope that your situation will become easier with time. You will be in our prayers.

Very glad to see you back! As most of us know, family matters don't always turn out as we would like, but we learn to accept what we can and look forward to better days. And helping others always end up helping us even more. May God bless you.

Welcome back. This board is excellent therapy, the members are wonderful. Will say prayers that life gets better for you and your family.

Don't know what you had to go through - but glad that you are still around.

Seems like family can give us our most joy - and cause the most heartaches.

We're glad to have you back.

Thanks for all you welcoming comments. I feel more and more like me again!!! Even went to check out the new fabric Dept at my local Walmart.....came home with some beautiful fabrics!

Welcome Back!!!!

Welcome back!! Quilters are some of the most caring people in the world. We all help each other through what we need to. So glad you are looking after yourself by getting back to your quilting. Our prayers are with you.

My favorite quote on the board is, "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." Glad you are back!!

Glad you are back! I have had the same happen. Ditto what the others have said. Even though all problems aren't always solved - it's good when you can make your way back to something you love! I hope it brings many rays of sunshine back into your life!

Rough year, year and half for us too and if it weren't for finding this quilting board way back when I don't think I could have taken my mind off the hard tough stuff and learned to let slide on by. Quilting is Healing!

Welcome back, Suzi! I have found that quilters are such caring people. They are eager to answer questions, give tips, or offer prayers. My hubby has Stage 4 cancer, and quilting offers such a respite from the stress and strain--his computer is in my quilting room, and we enjoy being there together and listening to music while he plays computer Scrabble and I stitch away! Hope that things improve for you soon, and that you are enjoying getting back to quilting.

WELL SAID and I concur :) keep up the great work, glad to see you back :):):) {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Glad to have you back with us! Sorry to hear of your family issues, and will keep you in my prayers!

You guys are the BEST...i should have come back sooner.
Redhotnana, my prayers are with you and your DH!

I'm so glad that you decided to come back to the QB and start quilting again. I also have a family issue with my husband's health. Quilting has become my therapy on days when he's not feeling well and sits in front of the TV for 16 hours a day. For the last 14 years, we've traveled full-time in a 35' 5th wheel doing volunteer mission work. Now, we are parked behind our daughter's house. Can you imagine 24/7 with husband in a 35' 5th wheel?

Welcome back, Sista. We all need each other!
