I started late and he could have been my grandchild. (I was 37 when he was born). Your Hotshot sound a lot like my son. The darkness did not clear when he was born, but he has been that comfort through the dark time along with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I know what you mean about the date and remembering the hard time it was, but yet each year there are more memories of joy to help heal the hurt. For this I am truly thankful.

Thank you for this reminder. Lovely post.

And what a beautiful analogy here:

It’s the same for everyone. Whatever their challenge, we all bravely face it a piece at a time.

The same way we make a quilt, even a difficult one. We do one row, one block, one patch at a time.

Thank you for that.

In those situations, we are given innumerable strength that we never knew we had. http://lizwhomotivates.wordpress.com

What a blessing though hard for those of us who remain here waiting for our name to be called so that we may go home to those same embracing arms. I also love how you use a quilt, though I don’t quilt and I would love to learn I have yet to try (mostly because I am in a small town and fabric is hard to find at best) but each patch of a quilt is representative of a moment or a time in life. I am sure as you quilt each stitch and each missed stitch reminds you of something, be it wonderful or sad or tragic your heart and soul are sewn into your work and will live on long after you are gone. What a beautiful and wonderful thing to gift to people who love you. The opportunity for your hands to hold and hug them even when they are physically alone! God bless you my dear, I pray that God continues to work in you so that your cup will overflow and the good will always over ride the bad. ~ Marisa ~

I agree with you that it’s not about being brave. When it’s our own journey, it’s about instinctively putting one foot in front of the other, often into uncharted waters, exploring, discovering and growing.

I never really thought of them as quilts rather considered them fabric “lace”. Most of the yoyo quilts I’ve seen were just the yo yos . Hmmm, never considered as a real quilt unless they were a layer of the quilt sandwich. ..lol.Then the yo yos would be considered embellishments! Lol!
hugzzzz

I bought myself a yo yo maker and when I have a small square of leftover fabric, I’ll make a yo yo. One day I will have enough to make a quilt. I love looking at them…so many colours and so many memories!
