No, I know you guys don't blame me in the least. Everyone is wonderful!
And I can see that this was really unavoidable in retrospect. No one suspected anything until it was too late. Won't stop me from being involved again. Karen, Queen of Squishies |

She does have MS . And since I have 2 cousins that have it, I do KNOW it
does affect your mental abilities. I had hoped that she was only making an idle threat when she told us before that she would be back. I have a feeling that she has more than one personality and none of them are very nice. I just pity her DH and DD that have to put up with her....at least her DD was married last I knew.... so she didn't have to live with her any more.

I agree with Carey, and maybe in NanaV's last moment of mental clarity, she will see how ill she really is, and regret what she did to us, twice! All that work didn't go to waste; she really is ill, just not physically. cyndi "Carey N." wrote in message news:VoUBe.75$xe3.36@trndny09... Okay, RCTQers, let a lurking non-quilter butt in and applaud you all for caring enough to offer comfort to someone that was seemingly experiencing hard times. The fact that she was not (at least, not in the way that was described) in no way diminishes your thoughts, efforts and prayers. Your talents and thoughtfulness have my complete admiration. -- Carey in MA |

I have been pursuaded to make this public for the good of all. I didn't feel too good about it, because I was the main instrument, but heck, it wasn't my fault. I'm just too nice. : ) I got an email, and a follow-up phone conversation, from someone who was around 5 years ago. This woman 'NanaV' pulled the same thing back then. But when the Hug quilt was delivered, and she was visited in person by an RCTQ'r from out of the country no less, her husband didn't know anything at all about her "bad" health situation. The name was different, and the health situation was slightly different, as well as the added family problems this time. When she was exposed five years ago, she threatened to be back, and to be so good at it that we would never know. She did. There are some current RCTQ'rs of long-standing who can help me explain and verify this story if there are any more questions. She has a Hug quilt........ but we have a life! sheesh.

Well, don't that beat all!!! I remember that last hug quilt and the
bruhaha that followed. We lost the rctq participation of a dear quilter in England shortly after that- tho I see her on the arthritis ng every so often. I agree with everyone else. This woman is truly sick- mentally- and prolly needs the hug quilt(s) in her sad, pathetic, lonely little life. This will not change my mind about participating in hugs in the future and I hope everyone else here will feel the same way. RCTQ quilters are the bestest, mostest generous, caringest folks around and we won't ever change.... no matter what's thrown at us. Karen, please don't feel badly. Crap happens.... then we get on with our wonderful, quilty lives and pity the "crappers". Hugs 'n hugs 'n hugs plus a bunch of sloppy doggie-breath kisses from The 'Mater Eatin' HairyButt Gang.

I truly don't think MS has anything to do with it. One would have to have
an abundance of mental clarity to do as she's done ,twice. It would take a bit to remember all the lies and to tie them to actual medical facts. I still can't believe how I got suckered in by her the first time, as I've been a cardiac care nurse for years. The information she fed us was pretty much correct, with only a few statements that made me wonder a bit It was after the fact that it all came to light. Actually, I'm glad it's all out now, because I didn't know how many had realized how bad we'd been suckered the first time. I felt horrible about it, but as Karen has said, we thought we were doing something good. I'm sure she's reading these messages and having a delightful time Gen "Butterfly" wrote in message ...

I didn't participate in either of these HUGs as I joined the list only
recently. But it leasves a bad taste in the mouth, doesn't it? It makes me sad that there are people who abuse the kindness and generosity of strangers in this manner. But someone who mentioned karma is dead right - what goes around, comes around. Morag "Roberta" wrote in message ...

Don't worry, Carey. We have a dear RCTQ friend, who lives here in
England, who also doesn't quilt (yet? g). It is always great when she pops in to say a word or two about something. (Hope you're keeping well, Shirley!) .. In message 4JUBe.78$xe3.74@trndny09, Carey N. writes Thanks for your offer of assistance, but I'm not quite geared up to learning to quilt yet. Still enamored of cross-stitch and machine knitting. Believe me, after seeing some of the work done by the quilters here, I know where to go for instructions. I do enjoy just hanging around here for now, since you're all so nice and lively, and don't seem to mind when I do join a conversation. You are all wonderful and talented people. -- Carey -- Best Regards pat on the hill |
