I am so grateful
 

I received a box in the mail from a wonderful QB member today and I am so grateful and delighted by her kindness and generosity.
The box was stuffed full of orphan blocks, precut shapes, nearly finished tops she didn't want to work on any longer and other treasures. It was like Christmas in July!!!
I can't stop playing with them and my mind is just boiling with all kinds of ideas how to use them.

I don't know if she wants me to give her name, so I won't, but I just had to give my thanks both publicly and privately. One more of the fantastic people we have here on this board who pay it forward as I surely will do having received this box of joy!

That is so awesome...... :-)

How very sweet! Enjoy your treasures!

Enjoy your Christmas in July.

Thank you for thanking this donor, whoever it was. I sent fabric to someone several years ago who indicated she was unable to purchase fabric because of several hardships. Not one word of thanks did I ever receive! I sent it from the goodness of my heart and really didn't need thanks, but as I read on one of the posts recently: it seems good manners are a thing of the past.

So glad for you Wildyard!

that's just wonderful. I have people send me fabs from time to time, I make donation thiings out of them and pay it forward. some I keep for myself, and others I pass on. we have a wonderful and great board here in our little community.

I agree, you ladies here on the QB are amazing! I always enjoy checking in here to see what's up.

So glad you are having fun wildyard, enjoy your goodies!

What a great and happy surprise for you.

What a wonderful gift, the ladies and gents on this board all seem so caring and helpful, and I love reading about nice things like this happening.

What a kind and thoughtful gift.

Such a sweet gift! How fun for you! Nice for you to be blessed by a generous member here! Happy stitching! :)

That is fabulous! I received a box of scraps from a QB member also, and having the best time making charity quilts from the goodies. So much fun!

I think this is awesome and I think it is great you are thanking the lady/guy in public! I know most people on the QB are great people, sometimes you find one that isn't but all the great ones make up for it!

We do have amazing people here on the board! Have fun with your treasures!

It is so nice to read posts like this one. I can imagine how much fun you are having with your new box of goodies. I know I sure would be. Really warms the heart. Yes, manners are certainly falling by the wayside. That is one of my pet peeves. People that can't say "thank you" will not receive anything from me. I drilled manners into my kids when they were small & they automatically done the same with their kids. They live what they learn most of the time. Anyway it is great to see a great post like this. We need more kindness in this world. We have a great board here don't we?

It puts a smile on my face to know that people can be so wonderful. I have been on the receiving end of boxes in the mail. I have also been able to give to others a couple of times.

I also sent several magazines to someone on this board. I don't even remember who it was, but never received any thanks or acknowledgement for them. I even paid the postage. Good manners are a thing of the past, I'm afraid. Don't let that stop you, if it makes you feel better to help someone out.

What a wonderful gift to receive from another QB member. I have made some very special friends on the QB, as well as learning a lot just going through the QB each day. It's like having an online Quilt Guild. One thing I have learned over the years is that quilters are wonderful people, willing to give help wherever and whenever needed, as well as a big support network of like minded people, both men and woman. Quilters Rock.

This kind of thing happens often here on the board, and all anyone ever seems to ask is that we pay it forward. I love this board

Yes, what a nice gift and how very thoughtful of the giver... I'm sure she felt good sending them to you so they would be used and I'm sure she feels appreciated by your nice post.
