Reconnecting with Old Friends

When I met Carol we were both avid quilters. We met because of an exchange of quilt squares that was published in a quilting magazine. We became pen pals. We actually wrote or typed letters to each other.
We continued to exchange quilt squares through the years. We traded birthday boxes. A short while ago, I received a box full of memories from Carol. I can't believe that she actually saved all those things! As I went through the box, I started to cry because of all the wonderful memories that she had preserved for me!
I finally got to meet Carol! It happened when she had an appointment at Mayo Clinic. My husband and I drove down there, and we met face to face! That was the good part.
The sad part was that Carol had some heart issues.
Carol had surgery on her heart. We kept in touch. It took her 10 years to recover, but from I hear now, she is doing so much better!
Carol is still an avid quilter. She even has a blog now about quilting.
If you are in the mood for the love of quilting, take a short trip to Carol's blog.
You will be able to share in her love for quilting.
It's a great blog.
She's on my blog roll, so take a look, and you will not regret the trip.
