I was in the hospital this week for about 3 days. I met the ,most wonderful people who have come here from around the world. They are not patients but they work at the hospital. A lot of them are from Africa and just as lovely as can be. My main nurse was an Indian and I will never forget her.

It's where I come to share the loss of a loved one & sympathize w/others who have a great loss or burden on their heart that others help lift them up from .
It's where I know I will find at least one great tip for the day & view beautiful creations from people who REALLY CARE.
It's where I receive another beautiful blessing each day.
Hope each of you have a blessed day & all your quilts are filled w/love. :lol:

When I say this topic on Carping, I wondered if she mis-spelled something and she did not like her carpeting. Boy, was I wrong.

Now, if all I found on this board was negative and cutting (verbally speaking) I would disassociate myself post-haste.
But, I'm still here.

You see what you want to see. I have never had that feeling about this board.
They say, "Be the change you want to see."
I will start.
Today is a beautiful day in Tucson Arizona. My husband and I are seniors BUT we are alive and well and love each other as well as our family and everyone on this board.
Have a wonderful day Bj

this is particularly for FroggyinTexas, but also for us all.
I was on vacation last week, had sewn what I brought with me too soon, so I went to the local LQS. I have been there every year, and love the store and personel. I bought a kit for a lap size quilt with repro Civil war fabrics.
Well, I started it and cut the wrong fabric for the background and didn't have enough to do with it either what it should have been, or what I was trying to do. so another trip to the LQS. The owner remembered me from the other day, and I showed her what I needed. the store was out of that particular fabric, but I found a substitue that worked. I asked for more than I needed (in case I cut wrong again). She said, It's $9.75 a yard (I bought 1 yd), so if you give me a $10; I'lll call it even. She was out some for the tax, but it was ok for her. No, it wasn't a big savings, but she didn't have to anything of the sort.
I think Quilt store owners would give you a deal Walmart and others wouldn't dream of. So, I'm thankful for nice, and thoughtful quilt store owners that really are around us. Thank You, Hazelhurst Wisconsin!! wooHoo! :thumbup:
