Valentines Day blog

Another student touched my heart (as they often do) – she has been in my class for just a year (many of my students have been with me 12 years) and pulled me aside to tell me how much class the week before had affected her.

The week before we said goodbye to a student that has been in the class for 12 years – she and her husband were moving to be closer to her kids and grandchildren.

We had a pot luck lunch (us quilters are also such good cooks) and we made a friendship quilt we gave her. This like all my classes is full of wonderful warm loving women. Back to the story of this week. So “Jane” said after that class she went to her boss and gave notice – she is retired but has been doing extra work; . She was so touched by the warmth of the class that it made her reevaluate her life – she wanted to be more envolved with this wonderful group of giving women. She thanked me for creating this warm classes – I thanked her for it is the students that are the soul of these classes.

I relay this story because that is what I want in this web site – a true quilting community where friends can be made – lives can be shared and our big world can feel a bit smaller
