Muv your quilt is beautiful and it was a wonderful journey to follow along as it came together. I especially would like to thank you for sharing . I felt like I traveled a good bit with your lovely quilt and learned a lot. Thank you again.

Alright so actually my world was turned upside down. I am currently in Arizona away from the snow. We have internet set up now so I can connect a bit more.. however we are way out in the desert and the fastest internet they have is pretty much close to dial up... ugh But did I mention there is no snow.. and the sun is shining..

My brother had a loss and he really needed family to come stay with him. So dd and son-inlaw packed up the house for us and put in storage and we took what we could fit in the car and here we are in Golden Valley, AZ. We will be here for at least three months. I did manage to fit my sewing machine in the trunk but there was no room for bringing my stash. Im hoping that soon we can find out where a fabric store is and take an afternoon drive to it.

Im so sorry I have not been in contact everyone all of you my quilting board friends are so important to me.. Its just been one of those years. But did I mention there is no snow here and that the sun is shining.

Well my brother is very grateful and thankful we came.. my biggest job has just been giving him random hugs and being a upbeat positive influence. Was really hard last night but we made it through this morning. It's hard to watch someone broken and crying who you have always seen as a pillar of strength. I have to give credit to my DH also as usual his wonderful self was able to be the big shoulder to cry on. It was the most touching thing I have ever witnessed one man telling another it was alright to cry and let the pain out. I mean WOW is the only words I can use to describe it. The only reason I feel comfortable sharing it here with you my friends is because I know the compassion you all have and continue to share as friends here in this thread.

I am hoping that you all have had a wonderful Holiday Season and that the new year brings lots of love and laughter and warmth into your hearts. I know that though the end of the year has been rough for me and mine, I can feel good about what I have and the love of my family and friends means more than anything to me.

Super warm hugs to all of you my friends I miss our time together.
