In case you missed reading this earlier this week –




I received a wonderful email this week from Grace Federico. I thought you would enjoy her story.



Hello, I would just like to give you a good compliment! I downloaded one of your free patterns, 2 years ago and have made about 4 dozen of the Walker bags. I have donated them to 4 different rehabs and nursing homes in my area and the bags were very well received and appreciated! I also gave them to some friends and neighbors, as I live in an elderly complex. Everyone was so thrilled with these bags and has gotten so much use out of them! I purchased more fabric, today, at Wal-Mart, for 2 dollars a yard and I will be making more to give to an Alzheimer rehab in my town. I only buy the fabric, when I have some extra money, as like I said, I donate them. I enjoy sewing them and especially, where they are so well appreciated! I just thought you would like to hear about a good story and thanks again for the pattern! Grace M. Federico, Winthrop, MA

Here is the link to the walker bag pattern and others

This story has restored my faith in human kindness - you start to doubt if there are many good people out there - but this and other stories i read (like the flower giving to a stranger) are truly moving and wish everyone would take the same path to a much happier and friendlier world. Many *'s to the kind hearted lady and to who posted this story.

What a kind generous & loving lady Grace is. To do these for those less fortunate. Wouldn't it be nice if we could help her out with fabric. Thankyou :)

That is exactly what I was thinking of doing. If she can be such a blessing to someone in need, I would love to be a little part of it, even if all I do, is help her a little.

Have you all ever gotten together, and done something as a group... to help someone?

nonna57 by nonna57 20 Jun 2008

Yes at my small sewing group. Makes you feel good to be able to help someone in need. We need more of this in this sad & troubled world .

I know what you mean. I already wrote Laura to see if I can do something. Even if I have to send it through Laura. I think that we all need to encourage and help others. Too many people take time to complain, and not to praise and to thank. I like to make the time to praise and to encourage, and to be thankful. So... every little bit we can do counts.
