Tears in Memorium

Wow! I never knew how many memories a quilt could express for someone that just looked at one, but today I found out and it warmed my heart.

I took another quilt to the UPS store and as usual, I didn't have it taped up (why buy tape when the kids will have it all over the house??). The clerk I always see asked if she could open the box and peek inside. I didn't have a problem so I said 'go right ahead.'

She opened it up and began tearing up and just gently stroking the quilt in the box. 'My grandmother once made me a yellow and pink quilt and this one brings back such good memories.' She then looked up at me and said, 'thank you for being such a blessing to those who receive these quilts.'

So, if I ever had any doubts that I am on the right path to what God wants me to do even part-time, I don't any longer. I am to reach out and touch hearts and souls.

All my doubts and fears went out the window today when sitting in the dentist office looking over my newest quilting catalog (that I can't afford to buy out of) and seeing a saying that said: "
'Remember Only God Is Perfect Our Quilts Don't Need To Be.' Something god has been speaking to me about alot lately.

I have 2 baby girl quilts available for $50 each if anyone is interested. They were made for someone and well, the ultrasound was wrong and they had a boy. Oh well, back to the design board.

Still looking for donations. If anyone is interested in helping me with my quilts so I can keep up my work, here is a website and a wishlist. Just place your order and send them in care of me at Jean Kester P.O. Box 1652 Avondale, AZ 85323.
