Work and Quilting
I truly envy those of you that can do this for a living or be able to stay home and just quilt. Many times I must gather up my pieces and put them away for several days while work interrupts the rest of my life. Oh, such is the dream I have of living by the ocean and sitting on my porch making quilts for the tourists and locals. DREAM ON, I know, but we must all have a dream & it is possible!
Today, I was thinking how very important it is that we get acknowledgement for helping others and how out of all the quilts I have made, I have received only a few thank you's back from the recipients and how special those thank you' were to me and how I may have been remiss in thanking those that help me.
So, let me start here with the many thanks to those who have helped me help others:
1- Sue Bailey for donating to me all the left over fabric and thread she had from her quilt shop in Texas. So far, I have made 11 quilts and still have lots of stuff to use up.
2- Tracy Turner for donating to me an entire bolt of fabric that I was able to use for batting for many of those quilts.
3- GDV (you know who you are) for $50 donation and for believing in the dream with me to help others.
4-Martha Simak for $10 dontation, you always were ready to share with others.
5- My husband for putting up with the days on end he has to carefully walk around the living room floor to not step on or kick a quilt piece out of place. I love you for you!
6-My granddaughter for all her help a 5 year old can give me while tying and pinning quilts.
7-911 Cares (Kevin, Lisa and Staff) for the cash and WalMart gift cards to keep the dream alive.
8- Paula Paine at Ottawa University for wanting to publish my story in the Alumni magazine.
9- My customers who have purchased quilts as gifts for friends and family members, all your money helps and your trust in my abilities is appreciated.
10- Kyle and Patty Petty for showing me that helping others is the greatest gift we can give, may God continue to bless you and hold you in His arms.
Never forget: 'To the world you many be one person. To one person, you may be the world!.'
We can all make a difference in someones life, starting today. All we need is a little faith. Do you have enough faith to reach out and help support my cause? Do you not trust me because everyone has a gimmick today? If you want to help support those men and women who answer the call for help everday, every hour, every minute somewhere when they say, '911 what is your emergency?' Please contact me so together, we can help someone in need.
