A Gift

At the Maine Quilt show there was this quilt 'Scraps of Green' made by the Narrow Gauge Quilters, Phillips.

I walked by it and was so drawn to it and thought to myself that my husband would really like it. He wears green work clothes, his car is green. If he were to buy me a dress it would be greens. Of all the colors that is not my favorite color. But this quilt just spoke to me and I bought a ticket and just felt in my heart it would be mine for him. It was an unusual strong feeling. I did not hear from them so told my husband about it and guessed I did not win it. I was looking through my favorite blogs and lo and behold this quilt was on Sue's blog. I laughed and was glad for her that she had won it. That is the first part of the story.

Today we had a quilt meeting that we both attend and she said 'let's take a walk' so outside we go and she begins to tell me that she really likes the quilt and wanted to make one like it and that it did not really fit her bed the way she wanted it to. AND if I would like I could have it. So I asked the big question 'how much and that I would pay for it". Then I did not know whether to laugh or cry and she said 'just what I paid for it $7.00'. I stand amazed that the God I serve can orchestrate my life and give me the desire of my heart and uses special people to bless me. A couple of postings below a dear friend had made a wonderful gift for me. I am very humbled by it all and so fortunate to have friends that mean so much.

So if you go to Sue's blog you will see it posted on hers but it is now on my bed and I can't wait for my hubby to see it. He will love it especially because it is GREEN!!! Isn't that a wonderful story?? I think so!! THANK YOU SUE R ...YOU MADE MY DAY!!!
