Hug Quilt Pati update

I think I sent two blocks for the Gifford quilt(s). Also involved in that
same Baseball Swap. On that one we got guilt-tripped. I'll participate in
these things when they are local -- when I can look the person in the eye.
Where there are 100 other people right in the same locale.

After somebody in Carol Doak's group did the same disappearing act with our
QOV blocks, I sent them to someone on this group. Pat somebody. In
Virginia somewhere? I don't remember seeing the pictures from her. That
doesn't mean she didn't post them somewhere, it just means I don't remember.
So Pat, if you are here, please remind me where the pictures are.

Howdy!

And this is where I call "FOUL!" - receiving money & ignoring the group.

Hey, we've all had our trials & tribulations, but I don't find that a
good enough excuse to drop out & hide.

Most of the Hug projects turn out just fine. And we're all glad we
participate & support. Thanks to all of you who follow thru'.

But there are Some People...!

Remember the Columbine High School Quilt? The really big, 11'x11' quilt?
It got stuck in Plano, just north of Dallas, with the quilter who was
hand-stippling the center square. She went no-response, also, and a
couple of us went looking for her. I offered (really, it was an offer,
not a threat g) to meet her at her apartment to pick it up (yes, I knew
exactly where she lived, 50 miles from me); I explained that we were
all concerned, I used to live in Plano & could travel right to her door.
Well, 3 days later she sent that quilt to me, mostly un-quilted (that
center
square is gorgeous) & I commenced to Finishing it. Several of us sent her
our thanks & best wishes, and we heard from her no more.

Pati does not "speak" to me; I dunno' why; we got along alright the
one time we met in Houston; after that, nothing. Whatever; this ain't
junior high school & I'm not competing for Most Popular. But she's
been on this group long enough to know how it works, how the Hug
projects are done, and shame on her for letting y'all down.
(No, I didn't sign on when I saw who was in charge; experience tells.)
If she can drag herself to Facebook, surely she can contact SOMEONE
on this group to cry "Uncle!" or "HELP!" No response? Bullsqwatchy!

Having gone thru' something similar w/ last year's Baseball Swap
(from the 2010 season), I'm just shaking my head & wondering,
what the f#@k is so hard about this? You sign up, you take
responsibility, you make it happen. Or you contact YOUR FRIENDS &
explain that you can't do it, life is overwhelming, & ask for help.
But shame on you for keeping the fabric AND the money & ignoring
the best support team ever.

Meanwhile, Rep. Gifford is doing rather well, God bless her.
Well wishes can be sent via
http://giffords.house.gov/contact/well-wishes.shtml

That's my opinion; yours may differ.

at Mz.Cook's front door... ;-P

Whooo-hoo!! Thank you, Pat for posting the picture on Facebook! (I go
there daily but not that often here anymore.) I tried to save the photo on
my hard drive and couldn't find the photos I took as I finished each block.
It took a few cups of coffee and bit of searching, but I found them! And
guess what else I found -- the address label I made so I could send the
blocks to you, the pictures of all the QOV blocks I've made, and copies of
emails from you.

Holy mackeral, I made a total of twelve blocks!! I think I only sent you
nine of them though because one of them was not in my series of star blocks.
One did end up in a quilt of Carol Doak's 1500 Member Celebration blocks.
(Now you know we're talking about a long time ago!)

November 2007 was the last photo entry. Indeed, that's when life got
totally wacko. I feel lucky to have survived what I was put through
starting July 2007. The culmination was that cardiac incident back in
January 2011 that led to early retirement. I was carted out of my Reno
school in an ambulance and never returned. No damage to the heart muscle
and possible brain damage turned out to be an unfounded concern. And now it
feels so good to be back living in Indianapolis. No cardiac rehab needed
but still recovering strength and energy levels.

Thanks again for the photo!

Need any more blocks?
