Thank her graciously - you really lucked out.
|
She was going to try to learn how to quilt but decided not to for some reasion.Her health and life got in the way I think.
|
WOW! You hit the jackpot and she was probably really glad for the trade for something she can use. Accept with grace and don't feel bad.
|
The trade was a true blessing for the both of you. Thanks for the blog, it really cheers me up after reading the Sunday paper.
|
Maybe you could make her a quilt in her Mom's memory
|
I am so happy for you.I wish I could find a friend like that!!
|
Awesome!!! When my mother got sick and could no longer crochet, I gave a co-worker her yarn and she surprised me with a gorgous aghan.

I offerred to send it to her and she said "I have a little bit of material I could trade you for it". So I though ok - but I was willing to give her the yarn for nothing in exchange. I came home today from errands and I had THREE - yes THREE Large Priority Mail boxes on my porch - FILLED WITH MATERIAL. Some of its already cut but 2 of the boxes were nothing but folds of material - nothing less than a yard. I was going to lay it out and take pictures but I'm so over whelmed...Ladies I kid you not this has to be 30 yards of uncut material and over 100 cut squares and 100 cut rectangles. I feel like the yarn I am sending her is no where near worth what she sent me. Pam, Don't give it a second thought. The exchange was for something you had on hand and wished to be used by someone who could appreciate it. I'd say accept the gift as it was given, not by amount, but with love of what she had and wanted to be put to a good use. You have a wonderful friends and don't base your friendship on amounts but on volumes of lovely things you each can share with her. Make her a lap quilt that she can wrap herself in and think of you each time she uses it. Perhaps that will ease your burdened heart. Andie :-D :-D :D |
Send more yarn if you don't think it is a fair trade.
