A few weeks ago, I was in Hancocks and started chatting with a lady that was in line with me. She asked me what I was working on and I told her I was getting supplies for appliques. She asked me how big of a design my machine could do (her's only does much smaller). Then asked if I could take her fabric home with me to applique a big tiger on it. I thought it was great that she trusted a perfect stranger. She paid for the fabric, then gave it to me along with her name, email, and phone number. She wanted a real looking tiger, so I had to have a tiger design made, then I stitched it out and mailed it to her. She asked what she owed me and I said to just pay it forward, that I was happy to help out a fellow embroiderer. She obviously took note of the return address on the package I sent and mailed me this sweet note and a check for much more than I would have charged her. It literally pays off to be nice. :)
