Angels for Nikki & Zach

I got up too late to get these in the mail today, but tomorrow is another day. (It seems to be the story of my life just now.) I made these for a friend of a friend and her son in Georgia. The mother was in a terrible accident last week and the doctors say she will never walk again. As any mother can imagine, the thought of never walking again with your little boy is heart wrenching. Please join me in prayer for Nikki and Zach during her hospitalization, therapy, and as they face the future. Our God is a mighty God and the things said by doctors can be over-ruled by His grace.

On another topic, today's mail brought a sweet surprise. I got a thank-you note from Joe, the little boy for whom I made the quilt. He loves it, especially the football and dog designs. Also enclosed was a picture of him with his quilt. It is a treasure!

Kyla's Pillowcase

I kind of forgot to post the picture of the pillowcase I made for a friend to give to her granddaughter the end of May. It was a fun project for a young horse lover. Pillowcases are a sewing project I enjoy making; not so much sewing and ripping as in most of my other sewing projects. I wasn't nicknamed "Grace the Ripper" for nothing back in home ec. in high school!

I posted the picture on artisticthreadworks.com and it was selected as the picture of the week. As a result, I got a three-month subscription extension. I am so happy that their computer randomly chose my posting!

I also made a boring window panel for a friend's back door and made two batches of black raspberry jelly since my last post. They weren't really creative, but they are finished projects! I have more than enough UFOs hanging around, for sure!

I've also been cutting fleece fabric for blankets for Project Linus. I'll post pictures when I get some of them finished. I am procrastinating on them because I don't know what to embroider on the plain ones.

That's it for now.
