But our citizenship is in heaven...

How oddly appropriate the verse of the day is today.
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,” Phil. 3:20
My sister sent me an email last night. In that email she told me about a little boy who passed away Thursday evening. His name was Dalton Wallace, he was 11 and an FA patient. Dalton was a brave boy who fought this disease with all he had. Ultimately, God chose to save him from the pain and struggle of this disease and took him home to heaven. You can read about him a little more here. Please take a moment to pray for his family, I'm sure that they would appreciate it. I didn't know Dalton or his family personally, but in the world of FA, there is a feeling of a common bond with other families affected by this disease. Dalton's passing brings it once again to the forefront of my mind and brings the urgency of finding a cure that much more into focus. It is so very critical.

Sneak Peek

I have been working away on my quilt top for the block swap. Today was the deadline that was set for the tops to be done. I must confess, mine is not finished. I am getting close. I took each of the blocks and ironed them onto a 14x14 piece of freezer paper (my new friend). I put them at random angles and placement. Then I strip paper pieced them out to the corners. I chose to do this because some of the blocks were not the same size as the rest, and I didn't want to take them apart and re-do them. I thought this would disguise that, and would be a little more interesting. I'm curious to see what they look like put together. It might be kind of wild, LOL. I plan to put them together in rows of 4 (I made one more block than we had for the swap) and then I think I will do a 2 inch white border around the whole thing. This will be the biggest quilt I have ever done, so it could be interesting to quilt. We shall see.


I also finished the FA quilt. I just need to get the flyers and a web page done and get that going. I hope to get that done within the next week or so. I am having a hard time getting a decent picture of it. Even outside it didn't turn out very well. I may have to play with it some more.
