Mary Beth Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Since posting my items up for sale, you all have posted some of the nicest comments....makes me wonder if I have passed way :D:P I didn't think I would hear such nice things about myself. Thank you all for your comments. I love you all...you are just like family for me. This was not an easy decision and was much like a tennis match. Finally, when I weighed everything, it was just very obvious that I had to do this. When I finally made the decision it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Just because I am selling everything doesn't mean I won't still be around. I will pop in from time to time to check on you all, I have to know what is going on. My goal is to continue to make quilts and send them to you all for quilting Again, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Mary Beth I'm glad to read your still kicking. If you feel good about selling your LA and you feel your making the right choice for you than I am happy for you! You have to do what is best for you and only you know what that is. Don't forget about us, I enjoy reading your post and replies, you always make me laugh. If you do forget about us a group of us will have to come and kidnap you, remember this ole' broken down rodeo cowboy still remembers how to hog tie yet.

Mary Beth Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Liam, How in the world could I forget any of you. And you are not a broken down ole' rodeo cowboy....You are now quilter extraordinaire' I like to talk to much to stop popping in her and voicing my opinion Besides, I would miss all of you too much. Yes, this is the very best decision for me. I have needed to do this for a while.....the joy was leaving me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltinginthecountry Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'm glad you are still alive too . Good luck with selling the stuff. Hope you feel better to the point you can function again. It's tough when you don't feel well. Take good care of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Sweet MB--you have made the best decision for yourself--of course you have! We are just making sure you will still be in our lives. Let me repeat that--we NEED you in our lives--with your sense of right and wrong and your sense of humor! Things will get better, but you have so much going on--Jen's brave second pregnancy, Rod's upcoming surgery, your mom and your own health problems. Whew, I don't know how you do it but I know you have such strong faith that you will emerge even stronger. Love you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you stick around and throw out those one-liners that make us all laugh! I'm extremely happy that I got to meet you in person at MQS and value that time.

kennan100 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 MB, precious quilty sister, I know what a struggle this decision has been for you.

Now get up and get on with what you are supposed to be doing and enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Mary Beth, Barb in Hawaii here. I have been following your posts (here and on your blog) and from all that you share, I can see that you are making a wise decision - choosing family first. You are a wonderful woman in my books, but more importantly - a true Proverbs 31 woman. Hang tough, and when you are at rock bottom - "rest (and recharge) under the shadow of HIS wings". Mahalo for all you do and all you have done. And you will always have a standing invitation - if you choose to take a respite in paradise (Hawaii). Sent a U2U.

Dar Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Mary Beth, Good luck in your future. I know that you will always have a smile on your face -- at least that is how I will remember you. I didn't get to talk to you at MQS, but admire all your advice and wisdom as seen on the forum. I am just getting started with my LA and would like to see your list of items for sale too. Thanks for being a bright light in our quilting lives.

Primitive1 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Mary Beth, Let me just echo everyone else! You have been a blessing to me in so many ways, I have learned lots from you about my machine as I started LAing 2 years ago and how to do things....learning what a CL is, and especially for your encouragment during my dtr Jen's rough pregnancy! (I really thought she was dying!) Now it is my turn to keep your Jen in my prayers! I hope you will continue to pop in and chat with us, thanks for being a mentor to me even though you did not know it! May God bless you richly!

Busy Quilting Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Mary Beth, you have already fallen off. The ladder wasn't it. We shared it with you and all enjoyed ourselves. Stay around I want to see you get to 10,000 posts. It wasn't long ago we were counting up to 7000. Take care of yourself first, and enjoy your pieicing.
