Meeting Rosy - a very special person
 

Hello everyone . . . Well, I would be doing my membership on this board a terrible injustice if I did not send this note . . . all I can say to all who responded to the unbelievable give away basket of scraps from Rosy, and also all others on any chats, threads, tutorials or anything else on this board, who have not met this incredible lady, I had the absolute joy and honor to meet Rosy yesterday for tea . . . what an amazing woman she is, and to see her work first hand is even more amazing. Her home is a place that I could stay in for days just looking at and admiring all her beautiful work; dolls, quilts like you wouldn't believe; paintings, etc. etc.. Warm, gracious, friendly, with an infectious laugh and charming smile AND close by . . . how lucky did I get!! . . . I am new to this area (Winter Park since July) and don't really know anyone as I work from my home and now God has truly blessed me with bringing Rosy into my life yesterday as I know we will be friends for a long time . . . she is so knowledgable and talented and a true delight to be with. . . I had delicious tea, banana bread and good conversation and the bonus on top of all that? . . . I GOT ALL THOSE SCRAPS, HUGE BASKET AND ALL . . . ahhh, for the first time in a very long time, I was NOT at the airport when 'my ship came in' . . LOL . . . so I just wanted to say Thank You to the Quilting Board, old and new, for bringing us together . . . :)

yeah!! I love stories with happy endings!! I've enjoyed Rosie's "sit down and chat" threads as she walks us through her garden. You got to do it in real life - with tea!!

Sounds like you are blessed with a new friend and know it.

How Glorious for both of you,

Thanks for sharing what is a wonderful treat in life ... a new friend!

The only thing to equal an old friend is a brand new one

Sounds as though it was meant for the two of you to meet and become friends. Good for both of you.

:thumbup: I don't know Rosy, but she sounds like someone I would like to know. How special for both of you. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

I am so happy for you and Rosie but a little jealous!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience.

Who is Rosy? I'm in the dark! Enlighten me, please!

That is so awesome !! A memory that will stay with you for a while ! and hopefully a friendship as well !!

What a wonderful get together, you've both been blessed! I'm glad for you.

That is a great story. I just had someone from the board contact me saying that she lived in my area. This board is great and the members are so gracious.

Me also, who is rosy, from your post i guess you are both in south africa?

How wonderful for both of you to meet and enjoy the beauty of becoming friends. Both of you are blessed.

What an awesome gift for both of you... a new friendship! I know I treasure the friends I have found here. There is one in particular who adds joy and smiles to my day, every day, even if I don't see or hear from her. All I have to do is think about her and I get a huge smile on my face. Knowing she is my dear friend warms and comforts me on the not so good days, and energizes me on the better days. How wonderful this board is and are all of you here.!!!

god works in mysterous ways dontch think.may god bless you both

Bless you both; may you enjoy it everyday. True friendship does not come into your life everyday...so treasure everyday that you are blessed with it. After retiring here six years ago, I left good friends behind in our move, but God was good and sent me a very special friend (a married couple), so I enjoy traveling with her and they come to spent a night or two here and visit with us. I thank God every night for sending them into our lives. Unfortunately, they are not next door, but an hour and half away from us. So we treasure our times together.

How nice for you both, don't ya just love making new friends.
