What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I need to post to tell you why I haven't posted. Not quilting very much. We have a granddaughter who had a disaster fall in another country. She was teaching school there but this fall was horrific. She is blessed to be alive. 

In that fall, she broke all four limbs and had bruises everywhere. Getting her home was by email and prayer, as that other country wanted $$$ up front for everything, including ambulance. They did operate on a smashed left foot but that drained her finances and they didn't want her to put it through her valid ...

Whew, has life been busy. I have finished another quilt for a refugee couple and have four more on the go for their family. Also whipped up a little August landscape for my dining room window. We have had so many things going on that I'm too tired to describe them all, but healthy, enjoying lovely weather, trying new recipes, and quilt, quilt, quilt 'til I wilt... literally.

Don't know why February was so filled with appointments, interruptions, and more, but it is nearly over... hope March is as fun as making this little quilt!

This has been a difficult week. On Friday the 11th, my sister's grandson, Kyle was in a snowboarding accident. The news came as "pray for a miracle" so for days, that is what we were doing. My earliest memory was him standing and bouncing on my knees at church ... for an hour! He was always happy and fell in love with Jesus, a very special young man.

Here is a copy of the message that came on the 16th:

To all our family, friends, and those who loved Kyle,

Kyle went to be with Lord today, December 15, 2020 ...
