    A touching and moving story that can't help but make you want to reach for fabric. As your story unfolded, it played like a movie in my head.....I could see it all happening! Thank you for sharing it with us, I have printed it out and am going to put it on the wall in front of my sewing machine. Any time I get frustrated or furious with a piece, I am going to see your post so that only good thoughts and positive energy flow with the stitches.

    Your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing all of this. We on this forum often talk about how important quilting is to us (our addiction), but you have made clear why it's important to others.

    I could not agree with you more! That is a beautiful story that truly touches on the hearts of those that love to make quilts and give them away. I give lap quilts to my oncology patients...it is a way to show them that I care about them, that they have touched my heart and in return they can consider one of my quilts as a hug from me. I think most quilters have a very similar story.
