A Quilt From So Many Hearts

I belong to a yahoo quilt group:  Quilters Who Care.  

Every so often a member of the group loses a mother...or a father...or a brother....or is just having a difficult time.

When facing a difficult time, quilters have the same thought....make a quilt of comfort.

Email goes out....send heart blocks!  

 Nothing beats a comforting quilt.  This one will go to a member who lost her mom a short time ago.  

 When my dad died a few years ago, I received a heart quilt....so many hearts, so much comfort. 

Of this I am sure:  when in doubt when grief strikes someone you know - consider a quilt.

Sew on!

Encouragement......

Belonging to several yahoo quilting groups, I read almost all the posts (averaging 50 a day) and was struck by one post in particular. There are times when we all leap out in faith and post photos of our work. I'd like to think we do this with some sort of trepidation, looking for some sort of feedback. Never have I witnessed other than pure kindness when comments are posted in response to a completed project or perhaps just a block. However, this one post brought out something I didn't give much thought to until several days later.. The author pointed out a simple lack of courtesy that prevails among us all. Someone takes the leap - posts a photo of a current project and not one comment was posted. Looking back over several postings and indeed, there were several noticeable lack of comments after one brave soul posted a photo. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. The author of the post simply asked - what does it take of your time to simply post "great job" or "love the...

Pay It Forward...The gift that keeps on gifting.....

Love this idea....absolutely love it! Okay - so you are anxiously awaiting what the idea is all about - but of course you are! I shamelessly took advantage of daughter's blog http://daharadreaming.com/blog/ that brought to my attention the gift that will encircle the world....or so I hope! The first three people who leave a comment on my blog will receive a wonderful gift - sometime this year. Simple enough? Ahhhh - but there is more! You must pass this gift on YOUR blog.... Without regret, I shall simply borrow the rules from daughter's blog - with a few unknown-to-you edits.... *The gift will be something I have made just for you - not something stored away to be brought out now *Package will be mailed sometime during this year *I'm one of those craft-it-all people - so who knows what the heck you'll get.... *Sure - you can regift it.....that's the neat thing about receiving a gift. It's YOUR gift *Yes, I will contact the first 3 people who leave a com...

UFQ #4 on the way! 7 March 2017

Image
Nice to have a plan.  Nice to finagle a makeshift design wall .... Not the best but it works. Layout for UFQ #4 - Funky Curvy Rail.  Did I share this was a class I took so many years ago?  Curved pieces have always been such a challenge - but this instructor (yikes - what is her name?) took the mystery out of it.  Bought the ruler and everything 😄 Layout?  Of course: First row sewn together.  Borders....yes.  Three is the plan.  First one black - then white - then purple.  Widths?  I haven't a clue right now.   Onward to UFQ #4! Sharon aka angel45402 P.S.  Kind of like using my own name versus angel45402......
