Thank you for Ray's Hug Quilt
Hello all,
Joann asked if one of us could post her thank you for Ray's hug quilt. She hasn't been able to post to the ng in quite some time. So below is her email. Candy in Ohio ******************************* Well, ladies and Gent - Ray & I are both surprised & stunned by this truly amazing gift, - we found it hard to take in that we had been honoured in such a generous way. Ray immediately hoisted the quilt onto a wall which was conveniently empty & had a rail. It was clipped on and is being admired frequently and regularly & we've only had it a few hours. The colours & quilting are stunning; the overall impression is of wonderful birds in flight and it couldn't have pleased Ray more. Naturally, it brings a lump to my throat to see how delighted he is and to think of all your kind thoughts and beautiful work that went into it. At an uncertain time of our life, with the future looking scary to say the least, this is a tremendous boost to us both. Some of you may know that Ray has visited quite a few quilt shows with me & shown an engineer's technical interest as well as an admiring artistic one at such textile creations. The quilt had only been here for a few minutes when a non-sewing friend called unexpectedly. He grabbed her elbow & started to point out this part and that, then turned it over to show the back. He was so proud of, & thankful to you all. With Judy assembling and Linda H. quilting your lovely individual creations, it couldn't fail to be such a stunner! This message will have to be forwarded as I can read the newsgroup but not send at present due to cybernetic difficulties and recent hard drive failure. I lost a lot of info. but have managed to resurrect bits and pieces. So THANK YOU ALL so much. I hope to send a photo of the quilt to a website. JJ & Ray J |

Thanks for posting this Candy.
Dear JJ and Ray It's great to hear that you now have the hug to start the year and it did, as others do, bring the magic of 'group warmth' to you both. This is a special long-lasting feeling, too; so you'll both have it around whenever you need a bit of extra encouragement. Take care.

Please give Ray and Joanne my sincere "you're welcome" for my little part in
it. I've seen it and think that Judy and Linda did a top notch job on the quilt. -- Cindy Bettinger http://photos.yahoo.com/cbet_99 http://www.one-eleven.net/~music/ http://simplymusic.net "Candy in Ohio" wrote in message ...

Please tell JJ and Ray that every one of us feels it was our privilege to do
this for them. I am so warmed by her description of his delight. It's just what was aimed for! Karen, Queen of Squishies |

Dear JJ: It is lovely to hear from you again. You and Ray are in
my thoughts and prayers. Too bad you can't post, but at least you can eavesdrop now and then! Take care and do try to send messages to one or the other of us now and then, to post on the list for you. Hugs, PAT in VA/USA PS: I had wondered who that 'Joann' could be, while reading Candy's note! Ah, ha, our own JJ with formal cover! But thank you so much Candy, for sending this to us.
