In 2006 I became ill and everything changed. My goal at that time was to finish all the family member quilts. I finished the last one at Christmas and am in the process of quilting it now.
Not to bring anyone down this morning, but I am terminally ill. My stash is something that I don't want to leave behind for DH to have to deal with. I am going to work to use what I can making quilts for kids, the chicken swap quilt which I will give to my brother in law and one more big quilt for my husband.
No new purchases for me. I figure I have enough fabric to complete every pattern I now have in my possession. The colors may be a challenge, but I will make them work. If I'm lucky, I'll have bow tucks bags for Christmas gifts this year! If not, everything will be packed up and ready to donate to quilts for kids.

Hi,
We never know what life will bring us in the next moment. I also have a health issue and after daily searching I have taught myself to enjoy and live in the moment that I am in. This has brought me peace and enjoyment of my present life. I pray you are doing the best that you can and please never give up hope. No matter what comes, you are leaving a legacy of love. My prayers are with you.
Good thoughts
Connie
