| Linda, I cannot thank you enough for helping me complete this project for my father. My father announced to the family on July 6th that he had a health issue that was progressing quickly and that he was unsure of what the next few months held for all of us. This rocked our world. The thought of losing him was not something I wanted to entertain. I realize that each day we are given by our Creator is one to cherish. I try to stop and smell the roses, tell the ones I care about that I love them and be kind to other people. These things I learned from my Dad. Over a months time, he has declined rapidly. not sure how many "see you tomorrow" 's we have. I have not been quilting long and my Dad has always loved the ones that I have created. It takes me TOO long to hand | quilt one, so I contacted Linda with questions and she said she would help me as much as she could. Her guidance is valued. When the quilt top that I pulled from my stash did not work out, it was Linda that suggested that making a new one might be easier than fixing the old one. I decided on a new pattern and using fabrics that I loved in my stash, I made a Quilt for Dad. Praying that Dad gets to use the quilt that I made for him. My apologies to anyone that I may be inconveniencing on Linda's to do list. Thanks to Linda for understanding the importance of this gift. Prayers for my Dad are appreciated. Prayers of peace for him, strength for my Mom and the others of us that love him so. |

| Josie's First Quilt Denise: Josie is a 7th grader who is taking sewing classes with me, Denise, her neighbor. Josie plays clarinet, cornet, trumpet and piano, and is one of the fastest readers in her class. The fabric was bought as coordinated 1/2 yard cuts at the Ontario Quilt show last January. We added the gold batik to brighten it up and pick up the metal in the instruments. |  |
