After a marriage of 23 years, My mother in law, god bless her, loved me as a daughter and when she died, she left me 3 handmade Quiltops. 2 were for the children and the most beautiful one was for me. I see her hands at work in my mind when I look at that Quilt top. It would make her happy knowing I completed all 3 quilts. as it is now, I have completed the childrens but not my own.

Sometimes the days are so stressfull, I come home and feel as though I weigh a ton. I pray and,concentrate on good thoughts, try to live a good life. You know? It is just tough sometimes. I need to remember that I can’t help others if I am unable to help myself find peace.
Well, today I painted and it really felt good. It is just a oil paint by number, but it is a replica of one I had as a girl. My mom and dad painted one when I was very young (infant) and it was always in my room. I lost this treasure of mine in a Hurricane. By a stroke of a miracle, I found the set on e-bay and bought it. The problem is figuring out the proper colors to paint! Age had ruined the oil paints in the set (dated 1954 no wonder). The canvas itself is in remrkable shape. I just want it to look right.
