I am like Anne. Jdeluka's beautiful story brought enough tears to my eyes to leave tracks down my cheeks! Thanks so much for sharing.

Big congrats, Dawn!!! I'm just catching up on the forum so I'm a bit late in sending congratulations on your greatly deserved ribbons!!!

Beautiful story! I learned embroidery from my Grandma, dad's mom. My own mom couldn't hardly thread a needle. Although in a round-about way, mom got me into quilting. A story for another time. I do have 5 of my great-grandmother's quilts that now I treasure more than when I was young.

Awesome story, Jdeluka.

Tech support told me to try and post a single photo...lets see if this works

[Jdeluka]

It will not post the picture of the whole quilt...something may be wrong with that image. I'm going to try and post pictures of the quilt blocks now...

[Jdeluka]

Finally success! It looks like the issue was with the single image in the bunch - there must be something wrong with the format. Sorry I can't share a picture of the whole quilt. Glad you all liked my story...this week has been hard at the clinic and I just needed to share. Thank you all for taking the time to listen. I'm so lucky to have a group like this to turn to when needed - even if it is only online. Your stories and images brighten my day

[Jdeluka]

Jdeluka,
I can only imagine what type of trials and heartaches are ever present in your life. Please know that you are one of the 'unsung heroes' of our time. Thank you for doing the best that you can during every moment.

beautiful!

Beautiful indeed ! Look at all the wonderful cross stitch.

[clhdabb]

Georgeous cross stitch!

[clhdabb]

I apologize, I really do know how to spell gorgeous, but I'm using a new iPad and getting use to the screen/keyboard. Besides, my DH's name is George so it''s a natural default!

Beautiful quilt and cross-stitch blocks! Thanks for sharing! I don't know if this is the answer, but others have found that if the file name for the picture has a special character in it (like '), then the picture won't load. Just a suggestion just in case the answer is that simple.....

[Jdeluka]

Nancy - that may be the answer. I added an 's to the name when I first transferred it to my computer, but the other pictures simply transferred over as image#. Lets give this one more shot...because of the quirks of the iPad I used to take the image it will probably transfer over on it's side since I took it on the horizontal angle and iPad wants to only send them vertically.

If it works you'll see a picture of the whole quilt now



now don't I feel silly - all that trouble because of a file name :blink:
