Gratitude and Giving

Let It Be, Stash Soup, and Pink at Play are finished and

will be on their way to Bumble Beans BASICS Quilt Gather next week.

Warm and Cozy, Whiskers, Blue Moon, and French Roast are also finished

and will soon be on their way to California

for participants in the Alzheimer's Study Group at USC.

This group of colorful pillowcases

will be headed to Margaret's Hope Chest in Michigan.

Giving . . .

The needs are so great . . .

My offerings may be only a drop in that bucket but

I believe in the power of many people doing small things

and how those combined efforts do make a difference.

Gratitude . . . 

I'm grateful that I'm able to do at least this much.

But I couldn't do this alone . . .

I'm also grateful for Chris, my long-arm quilty friend, and her amazing skill.

I'm grateful for my family ~ their patience, encouragement, and support.

and

I'm forever grateful for the inspiration of others ~ for their light when I'm feeling dull.

After all ~

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it 

is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

(William Arthur Ward)
