You may have heard of Giles from Gile's Blog
( he is in the US)
he leaves comments ( he did here just yesterday in fact)
I am sure he leaves comments on many of your blogs too.
He is challenged with his sight and possibly is unaware of
the global kindness that really surrounds him this very day.
He is a quilter and he has a friend in UK.
another quilter and her name is Patricia.
She has her own unique challenges and they both
have befriended one another....
Don't you just love when that happens?
Globally, through quilting we unite!
ENTERS this company,
Ritzko and John from Guidelines4Quilting
principle owners. Patricia notes that Giles would certainly benefit from this
very special ruler that this company has designed.
She had seen it on YouTube
(from the US)
Patricia requests assistance for another, a quilter on the other side of the world-and this company
comes through. For anyone who has limited sight, and limited dexterity from arthritis or any ailment that robs you from your strength...This is something you too would benefit from.
I wanted to share this story and company, because I get approached
weekly with a variety of requests, but this one struck me...
I am familiar with both these quilters, their challenges, their hearts
and their passion for quilting. I wanted to share this story
because it is a reminder of what one simple request
can do to enrich the life of another.
And besides I think their system would benefit many of you!
What one gesture, for one individual from a company
who clearly understands what it means to spread
GLOBAL KINDNESS.
Our quilting world is enriched by you all
Giles, Patricia and Ritzko and John.
my best
{and I from Canada!}

Thanks for sharing this story, Madame Samm. Beautiful and moving. Looks like a great product but hearing about how these four people from different parts of the world have touched each other's lives with their kindness is so uplifting.
Sounds like a great product. Thanks for sharing the story and product.
Thank you so much for sharing my story - well not exactly mine but I did the asking. The wonderful kind people from Guidelines4Guilting did the making and sending. I am so impressed with this company that I have ordered a full set for me too and can't wait for them to come. You see I have MS and feel that this system would work perfectly for me too.
Lots of Love

Hi Madame Samm and friends.

Anything to keep me quilting! YOu have been given a large platform to share such good news and I love you for always thinking of others.

P.S.
Thanks to so many of my quilting friends for their words of prayers and encouragement after our Tornadoes on Friday! This one was 1 mile from my house and hit the building my son works in giving him 45 sec. to seek shelter. Yes, indeed, I have much to be grateful for on this Sunday!
I love it....I say I have friends all around the world, because of my blog...I so enjoy the kindness, stories and sharing!!!
Being a friend of Giles I would like to take the chance to thank you from the bottom of heart for thinking of him. It warms my soul to know that people are always thinking of someone other than self. Thank you so very much.

I read this post the day it was posted, but I was at work so couldn't comment ... and since then I've tol so many people about it but keep forgettting to come back and leave a comment ... how terrible is that! But it's wonderful to come bac a few days later and read all the positive comments!
I have so many thank you's - to Patricia for finding such a great ruler that might work with my needs, and Guidelines for their imaginative thinking and genuine generosity ... as others have said here, it the quilting community is a special connunity to be a part of! And thanks too for Madam Sam and this blog ... this isn't the first time she's taken time to reply to something I've commented, though this post itself is extra wonderful!
Finally I am so thrilled to see so many positive much positive interest in the Guidelines ruler - that's the sign of a really great product, one that works for so many different needs ... I hope everybody who tries it finds it as helpful to their continued quilting!
