o2b Quilting Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Late Saturday afternoon a gal from town brought in one of three memory quilts she is making and needs finished by the Saturday after Christmas. I was planning on taking this week off from longarming as I have been working 7 days a week for the past couple of months to get everyone's Christmas quilts done. I just couldn't say no to her...these are for her children but are not made from their t-shirts but rather from clothing of their father. He passed away two years ago. He was in his 50's and died of sudden cardiac arrest. Another reason I couldn't say no...my husband was in their wedding and played adult men's softball and basketball with this great guy for more than 10 years out of high school. Her sister dropped off the other two this morning. I am so blessed to have my parents, siblings, spouse and children all living and am gaining two new son-in-laws in 2014 !! Life is good at my place (But Mother Nature, you could be a bit kinder to my farming husband and boys in 2014) MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Some days it is just hard to have such a big heart, isn't it? You are giving such a huge gift to that family as well as to your own. Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I can't say "no" to my customers, either. I actually do not like to hear the word "no" so I avoid using it. I don't like people telling me "no" so... I just find ways to make things happen so I can say "yes" and it feels so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisquilter Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Bless you Lucy for your kindness. I have truly found quilters have great loving hearts. Sometimes I feel such disappointment when I see what people do to each other on the news. Hearing of such wonderful acts to kindness like this renews my hope in mankind. Shalom.
