Thanks, everyone. You all say the sweetest things. I'm sitting here trying to hold back the tears. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been given this...
Bob, actually, cats can be service animals. They are known to reduce stress, lower BP, and recently they've found their purr (megahurtz) has healing...
I've been quilting for about 4.5 years. Something I always wanted to do but was afraid of. I laugh at myself now! I remember jumping in with a friend at a shop, buying the fabric for my first quilt and finishing the top - WITH a perfect striped border. The ladies were amazed. And that gave me wonderful confidence, especially when I found out that some of them thought it was too complicated for a newbie. When I picked it up at the shop after having it quilted, a lady walked into the store and offered me $700 for it! I was stunned! But you never sell your first piece, eh? Anyway, I'm sooo hooked - just like you. I forgot what I was sooo afraid of. If you can read, you can quilt. Oh yeah! I'm a 50-something wife, mother to two wonderful and responsible young men and a grandmother of five (including an adorable set of 15-month-old twin girls).
