Love your quilts. Thank you for the graceful way you said what's in my heart. I stumbled onto this site, can't even remember how it happened but I'm here almost every day. Always great information, a laugh and sometimes a tear.

First, your quilts are lovely. You do a wonderful job.

Second, I too have learned so much off this board. When I posted my first, and only so far, picture of a quilt I had finished the response was overwhelming. It actually brought tears to my eyes. It gave me confidence to try something new. I read this board every morning. I try to limit my time since I work full time to about an hour a day. But sometimes it ends up more than that.

Thank you to all the people who keep this board running.

you have done a great job on our quilts

Beatiful quilts. I am sorry for your loss. I am going through this with my mother at the present. I take my blocks to show her when I see her at the Long Term Care. She is the one that taught me to sew. So many wonderful memories that can never be taken away.

Happy Tails -- I appreciated what you said about bindings. I did the same thing with that tutorial and like you, I follow it and my bindings are a cinch--right the first time!!
Glad you enjoy the board. Your quilts are lovely. I like the scrappy "wonky" one.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I know what you are going through. I lost my first husband after only 1 1/2 yrs.

Sorry for your lose, but keep up your good work. We will keep you on the site!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am rather new to the board, but I learned a lot from the other quilters. I am so sorry for all your losses. I have found quilting and friendships with other quilters to be a excellent source of support. I was ill for about 2 years and missed a lot of my guild meetings. The gals were supportive through it all and now express happiness with me that I am able to get to the meetings and share in the joy of quilting. I do not think I have ever met a quilter that doesn't have a warm heart. Blessings for your day

Wendy, your quilts are truly beautiful. I think you are a little hard on yourself. Our parents give us a feeling of security, and when they are gone we must find our security elsewhere. So glad you are a member of this board. I love it, too.

Your quilts are lovely. I need to find this Tute because i can't bind a quilt without wanting to scream!!!!
Your parents are enjoying "watching" you do your quilts.
This Board is such a support group, and to think we are from all over the world, helping one another!!!

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my son 15 years ago Tuesday, this time of year is always hard for me, but it does get better- one day at a time. I agree with you this board is great!

Beautiful quilts...that wonky one (I think that is what they call it) is really beautiful, cheery and bright! Love the colors :-o
Will pray for you. I feel the same about my mother but thank God she is still with us. She is 85 next month and I tell her she cant go until I do. She is also my best friend :) So was my brother and I lost him...so believe me, I know how you feel. Blessings and love to you :)

We love seeing your quilts.Thanks for sharing. So sorry for your loss.

You guys are scaring me-is this site in trouble or getting ready to disband? I love coming here and have learned so much! Would hate to think that it may be gone soon. (Some of you can probably hear me sob!)

Your quilts are beautiful! So sorry for your loss. I lost my husband a year and a half ago and I miss him so much. We were married 51 years. Happy to have you with us. I just joined recently and have learned so much from all of you. I look forward to logging on every day to see what everyone is doing.

Pretty quilts. So sorry for your loss.

Thank you for sharing your story and your quilts, they look wonderful. I am relatively new to the board but have already taken advantage of the tutorials and also send thanks to those who make them. I send my condolences for your losses, my parents are 84 and 82 and I cherish them.

It is really good to have a place to learn, express youself and just enjoy others. Love your quilts and I have a hard time binding to.

Beautiful quilts,and Bless Your Heart!!!!

Wendy, I'm s-o-o-o happy that you are back! Your quilts are WOWERS and I am in love with them! This Board is exactly what you need to help fill the empty spaces. ♥ ♥ ♥

Losing your parents is tough but part of life and sooner or later we all share in that.

I'm with you 100% about the people on this board. To take time to help others you probably will never meet -- that is love.

God bless Wendy.

Your story was so very touching, sorry on the loss of your parents, but so grateful you can find comfort coming here to talk about it. Your quilts are beautiful.

WOW Your quilts are beautiful

Beautiful Quilts

I am sorry to hear of your loss of your Mother. I lost both my parents 4 years ago 12 days apart, and now I am loosing my husband to cancer. This broad helps me when I have time to read and enjoy the pics. Your quilts are beautiful and be proud of them. Sue

Your quilts are fantastic !!! :-)

You "struggle" beautifully. Love your scrappy quilt.

I'm so sorry for your losses. I can tell you first hand that the pain lessens but the memories remain. I lost my mom, dad, and only sibling within 3 years. I couldn't understand why I was left but thank God he left me the memories. Beautiful quilts. I think maybe that is the answer. Do things and surround yourself with things you love (including this board). I think that will help. God bless you.

Beautiful quilts and I agree with your feelings for this board. Sorry the loss of your family it is always so hard.

Wendy, you poured your heart out on this board, that was beautiful. Your quilts may not come easy but they are beautiful too. I too love this board and wouldn't think of going one day not reading something. You and I will keep reading and enjoying and quilting.

I am sorry for your loss.
You are so right about the people here on this board. I have learned so much for everyone and have alot more to learn yet. Your quilts are beautiful!

.....The words you wrote is mine too
Hugs....love the scrappy quilt best!

Your quilts are beautiful - I also like the scrappy one. My heartfelt condolences to you.

So sorry to hear about your Mom and your Dad. I agree with you about this board. I don't add comments often, but I so enjoy reading this board. I love all the things that I have learned on here. I feel like we are all friends here, even if we never meet. Your quilts are lovely. You do a good job.

Beautiful quilts! Sad time for you right now. Stay with us...we'll help :-D

Sorry for your lose. Your quilts are very good.

Great quilts!

You are a magician. Those quilts are "Freaken" Awesome LOL>
Really they are. I know what you mean about this board. My wife was just diagnosed with breast cancer and the board became a quilting machine. She has gotten blocks and quilts from all over the world for her chemo and radiation.
It is amazing. I am totally in love with my QB angels.
Keep up the good work
Love
Robert

I can't thank you guys enough for your kind words regarding both my quilts and my dear little mother. Honest to God, I've been through lots in my life, as I'm sure we all have, but I have never experienced pain like this....we were such a constant part of each others lives. I would always say there's mothers and then there's mine. It might not even be so hard if she had been just my mother, but my best friend and roomie. I used to call us Min and Maude, the spinster sisters..........I feel like I should be handeling it better than I am I miss her so much....I know time will help, but really, not very much matters to me anymore....but I really am trying.......Thanks again............Wendy

Wendy,
Your quilts are lovely. I am so sorry for your recent loss and for the loss of your Dad. Just remember that you always have us "quilters" here on the board for you anytime day or night. :D :D
