Great husband!! And so much fun to have a friend to share all this with!! None of mine quilt.

If you are ever in Kansas let me know. I would love to meet you! What a friend.

THAT was so kind of you to help your friend like that. Not many out there like you anymore.

great story, great friend.

That sounds like so much fun! :) She's for sure OUT of the closet now I bet! LOL :thumbup:

I agree. lol, sounds like a wonderful day of learning.

:lol: Your poor hubby, but that is funny.

Giving of yourself is the most precious gift one can give. You will receive many blessing in return, I am sure. Your friend is truly blessed to have a treasured friend such as you. And you get to feel that wonderful feeling that comes with giving. I'm sitting here grinning ear-to-ear!

Bless you for being such a true friend. This is an example of paying it forward.... Something good will come of this, just wait and see, and say Thank You to the highest powers. I am sure your friend will never forget your kindness. Besides, wasn't that fun???
Have a beautiful life quilting as you go. :)

Sounds like you guys had a great time....you have unleashed her now...watch out quilting world...here she comes!!

Nice job. You're a good friend.

Actually it was fun to teach, I think each of us gained alot. She is going to teach me to FMQ.

What a great thing to do for a fellow quilter. Giving of our time and expertise I've found to be very satisfying. I am sure down the line, she will pass on to others.

What a wonderful gift you have given her! True, her world will never be the same. I can just see the wheels turning in her head right now. Bless you to take the time to help her; she will be forever in your debt. Her husband may not be so grateful, though, as her stash will probably grow exponentially now! Ha Ha

Do you give lessons??

A true friend is someone who just doesn't give you negative advice but helps you turn that negative into a positive. She had the quilting skills, she just needed the visual skills. Hope she posts her "new" project when completed.

When can I come to your house????????

Everyone should have a good friend like you.

Well i say gold stars all round!!!!!!

Sure you can come to my house. Last year, I hosted a quilting "retreat" for about 7. Had a blast.

Sounds like a great trade to me! Have fun on your getaway! I could use one of those myself!!!!!

I enjoyed your story, something special about sharing our knowledge and fabric with others.

What a great friend you are!! I am in need of all of the lessons that you gave to your friend. I am sure that she will repay you in kind.You will get satisfaction just from watching the joy and understanding on her face. How nice!
You are not that far away...next lesson I want to be a fly on your wall.
What a neat thing that you did----gave her the gift of your time.

Count me in next time...I will be driving down (you can't be that far away) and will pick up others on the way. Will bring food in exchange for color, texture, quilting fabric lessons...LOL

How kind and thoughtful you are.

The more we teach the more we learn! Thanks for sharing your story.

I need a friend like you by my side :)

I love that you helped a friend.I'm never sure what my quilts will look like till finished.Sounds like you could teach classes in color value/tones & buying.
