She loves your screen name and was jumping around saying "loving Izabella" that's my new name! She was pretty silly. Anyway last week she was back to bug me in the sewing room and she found the 2 orange fabrics in my stash, she asked for a block made out of it and so I found the butterfly block pattern and decided to try it and when I was done with it and gave it to her she sat down and studied it and then gave it back to me and said "Nanna could you send it to the "loving Izabella" lady that needs hugs? Butterflies give great hugs, and I bet she would like it in her quilt." So after sitting in my room crying about what a special little person my grand daughter is, we wrapped it up and sent it out, and in the excitement I must have forgotten to put a return address on it. I'm glad it made it to you and we are glad that you like it. So now you have a butterfly hug (and I have it on good authority that butterflies give great hugs) for you hug quilt. Oh and I did make my grand daughter another butterfly block and I promised to make her a whole butterfly quilt when I get my sons quilt done.

:XD: :XD: :XD: Please give your granddaughter huge hugs from me and a thank you from the bottom of my heart...she has made me cry. Such a thoughtful young girl and how that means so much to me that she would remember and then unselfishly give it back to you to send to me-it shows what kind of lady she will be and who you are as a grandmother and mother. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. May I have her name please so I can put it in to the quilt along with "Nanna could you send it to the "loving Izabella" lady that needs hugs? Butterflies give great hugs, and I bet she would like it in her quilt." I am truly touched and honored! It really makes you see how far love can reach-thank you both again!
It has more meaning here too as my Izabella has been touched by a butterflies wings twice (so butterflies are pretty special in this house ;-)) and they say that is a sign of good luck so not only will I think of your granddaughter when I see this block but I will think of my own daughter and the love that this world still has for others :-)
Much Love & Huge Hugs

I made a mess of the two blocks I tried to make tonight.

I am sitting here wondering how I can avoid facing the day tomorrow. I have been trying to figure out what is 'wrong' with my son for 10 months, and tomorrow they will tell me but it turns out that I don't want to know anymore :( How sad is it that I hope they say his issues are due to bad parenting? :thumbdown:

Loving Isabella, your response was so beautiful, and touching; it brought tears to my eyes. I also think, the younger generations doesn't seem to have as much compassion as the previous generations. So to see the unselfishness, and purity of a youngsters heart is such a lovely thing.

Fryguy, you have to try and be positive, it may very well be something that is very controllable, even cured. My prayers are with you and yours. My wishes for the best.

Bibliostone your blocks are beautiful.
