I would like to thank who ever sent it to me. There isn't a return address. I received a gift card in the mail to Joann's . Thank you very much for thinking of me. It's funny cause I read the storys about how the person is in tears then receives something that makes them feel better. Well it's my turn I was sitting on the couch feeling sorry for myself because I don't know how much longer I am going to have a job. I was opening the bills and I had a card in the stack. I opened it up and there was the gift card.
You guys really don't know me, just by what we all type back and forth to each other- but I feel so loved by my friends here on the board. I just can't say enough about the people that have touched my life.
Thanks again my friend.

How great for you!!! Happy shopping!

RedGarnet222 06-15-2010 06:40 AM

How wonderful! You make sure you smile all the time you are shopping with your new card. It is a wonderful thing someone did for you. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Twisted Quilter 06-15-2010 07:09 AM

WooHoooooooooo...Shopping always make you feel better, especially when you don't have to use your own money.

One year my niece didn't have money to buy her 'traditional' gifts for birthdays etc., so she gave us gift cards from the Dollar Store. We actually had a great time in there and asked for the same thing the following year. This year I got JoAnn's. :thumbup:

Go shopping and let us know what you purchased. :lol:

dkabasketlady 06-15-2010 07:54 AM

I'm glad that you had a special "angel" from the board to lift you up at a time when you needed it the most!! Happy shopping!!

quilterb 06-16-2010 04:40 AM

God is good all the time , enjoy your blessing.

walen 06-16-2010 06:02 AM

Connie Merritt 06-16-2010 12:01 PM

I am a believer that what you give you get in return, perhaps not in the way you gave but in a way that is needed at that time. This is another one to to pay to forward. Thanks for sharing. A special angel blessing to the giver. Good thoughts

athenagwis 06-16-2010 12:20 PM

What a wonderful surprise!! I have had a few quilty angels from this board myself who have shared some wonderful fabric from their stashes. It is so nice to know that there are quilters thinking of you! I don’t have many people who really quilt in my circle of friends, so I don’t have anyone nearby that I can share stuff with, so it’s nice to have the gals on this board to be able to do that with. :)

Cheers!
Rachel

Ditto, 100% agree

karendenice 06-16-2010 01:09 PM

I also received a box of fabric from someone on this QB. It was an extremely wonderful blessing. Am on disability, so don't have much extra for needlework. But boy when I have a little $ I will be found at the LQS, or JoAnns. Bless all the people that give out of the kindness of their hearts.

grandme26 06-16-2010 02:13 PM

What a wonderful surprise gift.

MISHNJIM 06-16-2010 02:32 PM

What a Wonderful Surprise that was....Enjoy it!!!!

seamstome 06-16-2010 04:16 PM

Enjoy your gift. Let's you know that people are thinking good thoughts about you.

granniebj 06-16-2010 04:39 PM

That is so nice of that person! There are special ladies in here. Two of those ladies sent me some of their precious fabic so that I can make yet one more quilt. I haven't acknowledged them on the board because I don't know if they would want me to. YOU know who you are! My special angels.
I'm glad someone could brighten your day!

tolepainter54 06-16-2010 05:14 PM

Happy for you. Don't you just love Christmas in June!! Have a great time shopping.

wvdek 06-16-2010 05:26 PM

Spend it wisely!

amalia64 06-16-2010 06:43 PM

just when we start feeling sorry for ourselves, bang, surprise. I'm happy for you. Take it as a Blessing and happy shopping.

QuickStitch 06-16-2010 07:48 PM

That is so sweet. I know how you feel. I met with a quilter from here on the board, and we have grown to be friends. The other day she brought me 2 big boxes of fabric scraps, some had yardage. I was so suprised and excited, it was like Christmas to me. It is so nice how everyone shares. I have sent stuff out also because it is so much fun. Have fun shopping. :-D
