Gallery 32 {The Skies Above}

The Skies Above
 
Taken outside our back door June of 2008.
 
 
 
I look up to the moon and I can hear her calling me,  Mommie!
 
It's been three weeks.
 
They say time will heal.

Thank You and Day 3 Holiday Lane Pillow Blog Hop

Thank you to all my fellow quilty bloggers for your beautiful words during this time.
 
It was not my intention to sadden you during the last two hops. I had both posts scheduled to show until we got the news of my beautiful daughter passing. Instead I showed one photo of the Priceless Coin purse, which my daughter loved every purse that was out there and in her honor, she was priceless.
 
Holiday Lane Pillow, because she was a single working mom working for the school district as a bus driver and did so much for her children with so little and still manage to have a huge tree and gifts for her children and put food on the table and pay her rent and still ran her suburan on fumes to work and home for her babies. She struggle, but she did it for her babies to have a wonderful life and future.
 
My WDH and I live out of town and had to make several trips to take care of our daughter and make arrangements for her. While we were on the road, I read all the kind messages and believe me, it kept my husband from pull off the side of the road and comfort me and to keep the focus for her babies and my other children who were so close to her.
 
This is something that I wish on no one.
 
Again, my apologies to everyone and I will be back. She would want me to do what I love.
I have too.
My sweetie pies had put orders in for new quilts for Christmas earlier in the year.
They have slept with every quilt I have sewn for them along with pillowcases.
 Her youngest child will not sleep without the first one I made for him when he was a baby.

Happy Stitching
 
Thank you Pauline and Madame Samm and please accept my applogies for not participating on the hop today.
 
We had to travel out-of-town to take care of the loss of our daughter.
 
I want to Thank all who left wonderful comments during our time of sorrow. It has not been easy for our family. On Thanksgiving we will have an empty place setting at the table. The days get harder, but my focus is to do what we can for her four amazing children.
 
I ask that when you are visiting with your family, that you grab one another and hold tighter than you ever had.

I am so greatful that I held my daughter, told her I loved her and gave her a kiss and spent a few hours together the day before she passed. The last communication I received from  her was a text saying" I love you mommie" which I have so many on my cell phone.

So grab your love one, tell them you love them, hug them and kiss them. Tomorrow four beautiful children will not be hugged, kissed, or told they are loved from they mommy, just say, their mommy died.
 
I wish everyone a Safe, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Finally Home and a little Festival

I am finally home!
 
 
 I cannot believe I did not bring back many more bags from the International Quilt Festival - Houston.
I have two Handi Quilter bags, only because the first one ripped and they gave me another one to hold all my stuff. Needed some stitching.
 
 
Before the doors open.
A Winner!
Love this quilt.

My granddaughters saw the dolls at the show.
Tried their hands on a PFAFF.
Nice stitching for a newbie.

Awesome!
Cupcakes!
 
Girls took a photo of Pokey Bolton demo at Open Studio with my iPhone.
My girls love to sing and dance and love this quilt with all the sparklies.

Yes, play time grandma!
I had a wonderful time at the show and hope that you enjoyed  a few photos of the 2012 IQF-Houston.

Blog Hops:
Final week.
Great ideas for gifts over Free Spirit.
I found my pattern at the IQA Festival-Houston.
Just a few blog hops that are happening around blogland.
 
Hope to see you back here next Tuesday for my post on UR Priceless Coin Purse.  I have a giveaway.
 
Have a wonderful evening,
