Quilt progress...

There has been slow progress here on the quilt.  I had hoped to whip this one out quickly, but it is taking time... Even so, the quiet repetition of stitch after stitch, has a rewarding outcome.  I love to look at the progress and know that when this quilt comes off the frame I will be amazed!  Last week we experienced a great loss -- the unexpected death of a special friend to our family.  As we have looked at pictures, talked and told stories of many good times, I have realized again how the people we hold close, the experiences we have all add "threads" to our family story -- threads that when we step back and reflect fill us with amazement.  "...Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!  His faithful love endures forever." Psalm 106:1
