Today I received a very kind gift.<\/p>\n

It started with the idea to give the guild officers a gift at the end of their terms. Guild officers have a tough job. It is all volunteer organization and there are few perks if a person doesn’t get satisfaction from leading.<\/p>\n

For the past few years, I have gotten people to volunteer to make bags and then encouraged the guild to bring one small gift for each of the officers. I like this idea better than making officers quilts. While quilts or blocks can be a great memory, they are a lot of work and we all have our own quilts. We all make our own quilts. I think providing a bag with a variety of gifts is a great thank you.<\/p>\n

Today I received the same kind of gift. It was a bag made by Cheryl full of lovely treats, including some chocolate. \ud83d\ude09 There are a number of things that will stock my new Sew Together Bag (I haven’t made it yet) with an embroidery kit.<\/p>\n

There was also Thread Magic, some fabric, tea, band-aids, which I hope I don’t need. \ud83d\ude09 there was a spot remover and an inside joke for the arch supports.<\/p>\n

I am so grateful to the guild for this gift. I don’t do volunteer work for accolades or event thanks. I don’t do volunteer tasks that I don’t want to do. This gift was such a wonderful and unexpected surprise. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
