hug quilt

Iam new to this newsgroup. What is a HUG quilt?

Peggy

Welcome Peggy. Have a seat (scooch over a bit everyone and pass the
choccies or licorice... yes, Bfly, you might have to share)
Ok.. a Hug is a wonderful group effort to envelope someone in a big
transition point in their lives. Those who feel moved to do so send
blocks of a specified size(s) and color(s) to the Hug hostess and they
assemble them into a magical quilt which is then presented to the person
or couple it was made for.
Usually the Hug's hostess is the one who gets this urge to make a Hug
and the call goes out via email thru the Keeper of the Hug List (thats
Karen) or it can be done publically. Anyone who feels that they want to
contribute to the Hug effort can do so.
I hope others will chime in and elaborate.

It has been years since I have had Good and Plenty, but remember it as
being a most intense licorice flavored goody. Thats just fine with me. I
remember trying some whips and was so unimpressed, insipid isnt how I
think of licorice. Thanks so much for sharing!
Diana, who also likes choccies

Lovely description Diana.
The process is usually kept 'secret' from the Huggee.

Very good description Diana! The call can go out thru one's own
E-mail too. BTW Peggy, the REASON for a Hug quilt can be sad
(death, disaster, divorce) or happy (marriage, baby) or "just
because" .... all are wonderful.

That's my DHs favorite movie candy. I have a "movie tote" that I use to
sneak in our treats since you need a second mortgage to buy theatre candy.
With tickets here at 9 bucks a piece for evening shows (6 bucks for
matinees), a small popcorn is $4.75 and candy is $2 - $4 per box, it's a $50
night before you know it. My bag holds my water, a can of soda for DH and a
big box of Good and Plenty ($.99) for DH and a big box of Junior Mints
($1.19) for me.

A HUG (yes it must be in capitals) is the most amazing gift that this group
of girls and boys (there are a few!!) can give to someone. Just looking at
one, you can feel the love and caring radiating from it. It ooozes warmth
and kindness and love and friendship and.....I could go on and on and on.
They are very very special and to be a part of making one is an honour. To
receive one is well....

To receive one is what makes you:
"Still grinning"
even on your worstest days.
Thus the magic of a HUG.
Just an aside: Mr Joe had another treatment and is doing much better. He now
will be getting them every 6 weeks instead of 8 and when the next 'new med'
comes out--he will be getting it to see if it works better than Remicade.

Butterfly (still grinning and so is Mr Joe)
