Whooping Friday

 


I can't believe  I am still sticking to this, especially since they are 18" blocks.  The greens are all done now.


And the purples are almost finished.  That will leave me with the blues and this will be ready for a layout and then sew together.  By having everything prepped and by the machine, it was simple to just chain a few strips thru as I had time.


Our rainy season ended with a few days of hot and dry weather to make it possible for us to finally lay my brother to rest.  The family gathered and we rode up the mountain to the old hunting cabin.  As the last of the ashes were scattered along the hedge row in front of the cabin (were we laid our Day), two yellow butterflies fluttered out and flew around the group for a while and then went down the hedge row and out into the favorite hunting field.  It was surely a sign that both souls united and found peace on the mountain they both loved.  

Sewingly Yours,

Sharon

I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother, and that was a lovely way to lay him to rest. Big hug for you.

I'm thankful you were finally able to release your brother to join his Dad. We had a similar experience with a butterfly at the services for a close friend. The butterfly flitted around the burial plot, landing a time or two on the grave stone of the couple's son who had died young in a car accident. Then it landed on the shoulder of our friend's husband before continuing to circle about. It brought both tears and a smile to those of us in attendance.

Truly beautiful quilt blocks. I am looking forward to seeing how they come together and I'm sure they will look stunning. What a wonderful place to bury your brother and how special to have the butterflies. I do think they were helping to welcome him to heaven as well as bring you and others a smile knowing he is where he wants to be.

Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the whole of Africa. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 1.5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life.

Hi everyone... Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Wale can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family is living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr. Wale If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him +1(978) 406-9575 or Email him at : everlastingspellcast@gmail.com or view his website for more review https://everlastingspellcaster.website2.me/contact
