A Quilt & Some Thoughts

 This week I made it back into my sewing & completed a project I started in October. This quilt is for my friend Linda, who has cancer & is in the midst of her treatment plan.
 It felt good to be back in my sewing room to work on a project that I hope will be of comfort for Linda. I gave it to her Thursday & she was quite pleased.
It was a beautiful sunny day Thursday so I took a short drive to capture some of Fall's last beauty.
 
 Yesterday, November 8th - three months since the accident. Three months of such heartache, pain & many questions & few answers. For the first month or so, my time & mind was so busy with things that needed to be done immediately, caring & comforting my hurting family, the services, then Albert's surgery, many medical appointments & just trying to get through each day.
Our trip to Florida gave me time to think & sort out some thoughts. Don't really know if my thoughts have become any clearer. 
This I know - We miss Barry & Zach so very much. 

And here are some words that I know are true & dependable & comforting. 
Taken from Isaiah 43
"I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Because you are precious in my eyes and honoured and I love you. Fear not, for I am with you."

Beautiful photos! And I really love your quilts. Quilting is something I have never mastered.
