Sewings On

 Here's what I worked on today........

I had three done before I started today, now I only have one more block and the borders and the top will be complete.  This is a small quilt, each block finishes 4", I will only need to use a fat quarter for the backing and I plan on hand quilting it like I did with the "little quilt" I finished this past fall.  If all goes well I will work on it tomorrow and maybe I will be quilting it by the weekend!

This is what it is supposed to look like when  finished, of course I chose slightly different colors. 

I do have one request, our nephew, a member of the Omaha (Nebraska) National Guard, is preparing to deploy overseas to Afghanistan could you keep him and all other service men and women in your prayers.

Prayers.....

I was catching up on reading the blogs I follow and ended up "hopping" over to another blog, a photo of a woman holding a baby caught my eye and I had to click.  I'm sharing this because this family is in need of prayers, the little boy Alex is sick,  I just wanted to ask you all to add him and his family to your prayers, 

I will be posting later......

Sad Ending to a Beautiful Day

I just found out that the young man we have been praying for, Joe, passed away today.  Please pray for his family.

Thank you.

Prayers Needed....

Recently I found out that a young man named Joe  from the town I live in has been hospitalized for a respiratory infection of unknown origin.  I really don't know much else, he is a few years older than my oldest son and his mom and I know each to say hello, but that's all.  The most important thing he needs now are prayers as his prognosis is not good, but I know first hand the power of prayer. 

I also wanted to share with you a website that helps people fund raise for people in situations like Joe, it is called giveforward.org.  It is a great way for people that want to do something but aren't local and can't physically help in other ways.  There will be a fundraiser here in town later this month to help with medical and other expenses for the family as Joe is in a hospital in Los Angeles so his family is away from their home. 

Thank you for your prayers, NEVER underestimate the POWER of PRAYER!!
