"HUG" KATE....long
What can I say, in a word WOW!!!!!!!!!
You all pulled a fast one on me. Polly and I had planned on a day at the Pensacola Quilt Show and a show and tell in the parking lot of the Crackerbarrel where we were to meet. She said she would bring HER Hug for me to see. I was thrilled that I would get to see it. Little did I know that the quilt I would be looking at and admiring was for me. When she handed to box to me I was still unaware. When we were folding it up I got to look at the label and was stunned. I couldn't believe it. What a surprise. And there Polly stood, just grinning. We piled into my van and off the Pensacola. The sun was out and beautiful blue skies. Traffic was not congested at all. We jabbered all the way to Florida and before you know it we were in Pensacola looking for the exit to get off and head for the show. When I walked into the Quilt Show it was like my whole being relaxed for the first time in 6 months. I felt GREAT. The quilts were beautiful. I was taken by a red and white Hunter's Star. We spent about 2 hours wondering around the show, then through the vendor's mall. Sad to say we didn't find any of the raspberry fabric I was looking for. Then it was time for a late lunch and the trip back home. We got to Mobile and just had to stop at Joann Fabric. It was getting dark by this time and the traffic was getting thick. We spent a lot of time at the fabric store without finding anything appealing. I bought the Quiltmaker magazine. Hadn't seen one of those is 6 months. Got some rotary blades I needed. Tired and very happy we headed to Mississippi. I dropped Polly off, got a cup of coffee and headed for home. I got in about 10 p.m. and went to bed. When I got up Sunday I took the Hug from the box to take a long look at it. Every block, every name. I did something I didn't think I'd do. I sat and cried. All the emotions of the past 6 months came tumbling out. I wrapped myself up in your act of love and kindness and sobbed. The healing process began with your Hug. I can never thank you all for the medicine a doctor can never perscribe. Your precious quilt is now on my bed. Every morning I will have sunshine to greet me. All the yellows, oranges and greens. What an eye popper. And the roses, thank you for them. The rose garden I lost because of the storm will now be on my bed. Words can not express my feelings and just how much you have done for me. Bless you all for your kindness. Kate T. South Mississippi |

Hugged and a day with Polly? What a fun time you are having Kate.
Glad your hug made its way home to you. So glad you got away and were able to relax and enjoy the day. And a new roof to 'top' the whole thing off sounds pretty great. Things are looking up!

I know just what you mean. One doesn't realize how healing it can be or how
sick your heart really was until you wrap yourself in a gift of love. It's like all the walls that were holding you so fiercely together suddenly give way. Your heart just fills up and runs out your eyes. Then the window panes of your soul are washed clean and you can feel joy again. It's a cleansing and a healing and cause for great rejoicing. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Kate T." wrote in message oups.com...

Kate, so glad you got to spend a relaxing weekend away from home. I just
couldn't imagine all that you have been through... Sad to say we didn't find any of the raspberry fabric I was looking for. What fabric is that? There is a shop in MD called Traditions at the White Swan in Hagerstown that had an allover raspberry fabric at the Hampton show. One that you would put in to a "fruit salad" quilt. http://www.quiltwhiteswan.com/ They'll be at my guild's show this weekend (gak! It's this weekend!) if you'd like me to look for you. I bought a FQ of it, it was Timeless Treasure's... http://www.sunshinesewing.com/cgi-bi...od5_c6871_rasp Let me know... Hugs, Cappy |

Kate:
What a lovely report. I am not sure if I sent in a block, (my mind is a sieve.) I do want to send warm wishes and prayers for you. Enjoy the quilt and the friendship it represents. Hugs, PAT |
