I make comfort quilts and do it with all the love in my heart, but recently when I was speaking with the mother of a young boy for more info about him before I start his quilt, I had to do some fast talking. After expressing her delight that I was going to make a quilt for her son, she asked how I knew about him. I explained that I get all my referrals by word of mouth. She was so excited, she asked for my contact information so she could "pass it out to everyone at the hospital".
After being momentarily stunned, I quickly explained that due to my own health issues, as much as I'd love to make everyone a quilt, I had to limit the numbers of referrals I could take and I'd hate to have to start saying no to a lot of people. She seemed to understand and I was relieved I wouldn't be hearing from all the staff and parents of children in the hospital. That was a "where do I buy a magic wand?" moment.
