Last week was a rough week for me. I had another infusion and my second (last) treatment in each series is always hard on me. I prepared for it as best I could by packing a snuggly quilt and my shiny disco ball. I slept through about 5 hours of the treatment and then my husband drove me home when it was finally over.
Once home, I was treated to love from many quilters who probably didn't even know how much I needed it that day!
Hanging on my doorknob was a package of Ninja fabrics from my one of my local quilting buddies:
I deal with inflammation in the cartilage between my ribs and refer to the pain as "ninja pain." I wrote about my ninja pain HERE. Joliene knows about this and thought I needed to make a ninja quilt. She's absolutely right! Stay tuned to see what happens to these fabrics.
My husband brought in the mail whilst I was sleeping in my hammock. This box of chocolate love was well-timed, indeed:
The Hello Kitty wrappers just added more love to the entire thing, didn't they? Lucy is cool like that!
I checked my email once I hit the WIDE AWAKE!!! part of my infusion recovery and found this beautifully kind note about one of my Craftsy classes (50% off coupon for my Craftsy classes HERE*):
This, folks, is why I spend a third of my time on the road teaching quilters how to love machine quilting.
I don't know what I did to deserve such love, and all on the same day, but I'm very grateful to you all. Quilters are the best people, aren't they just?

I watched 2 of your classes yesterday on the All-You_Can_Watch_For-Free day: Stunning Free-Motion Machine Quilting Using Simple Shapes, and You Can Quilt It! Strategies for Custom Quilting...and I left glowing reviews! I LOVE the idea that I can create my own grid stencils. As I wrote in my review,"For anyone who struggles with FMQ, the grid approach simplifies the process. Debbie breaks FMQ down by using grids so that you can quilt a complicated design in small portions and have consistent end results." THANK YOU!!!

Other than lingering nausea that should be gone in a few days, I'm right as rain and back on the road today. I'm excited for two things:
1. I get to meet with quilters in Maine and New Hampshire this week
2. I don't have to have another infusion until January!
My goal for this week is to be as generous as kind with people as people are with me. That's a tall order, but I'll do my best!
