Bad Day turned around
 
1 Attachment(s)
Little boy had cancer, survivor for 1 yr to date. Big brother left for camp, and he's upset and
crying, their foster sister learning to run, runs into fireplace, and causes bleeding on her face, more
crying. Guild passed along the blue, green and yellow squares and I made quilt and pillowcase
for the little fellow, just by adding baseball fabric to make it larger - now all big smiles, and getting ready for bed and it was only 7 pm. Sometimes, it takes such a small thing to make a little one happy. Feels good to give,
and to do things for others.[ATTACH=CONFIG]424313[/ATTACH]

Looks very pleased with his quilt. What a reward for you, that lovely face. Bless him, it says it all. It does feel good to give gifts for those who are troubled in some way. Well done.

Love the quilt, but that smile is the best. Besides the fact that quilting relieves some of the stress in my life, I love it when I give a quilt that makes people smile.

coastienest 07-18-2013 07:21 AM

I can say nothing more because the smile says it all. That must make you feel like a million bucks!
