On the "butterfly" home front, I'm happy to report that I received an e-mail from my friend Peg in PA about a recipient of the "butterfly quilt" when it's completed. Her friend has a Daughter, Allison, with Crohn's. She is currently trying to make her way through college, but the Disease is making that journey very difficult. Her story sounds soooooooooo familiar, hit home and tugged at my heart strings!!! Now I can't wait for Sue to get back from Disney so I can tell her about Allison :) Thanks so much Peg!!! God Bless you my dear and God Bless Allison and her family.
And, remember Mallie's "Bunny Quilt???" Well, her Mama, Betsy, sent me this picture yesterday and it made me LOL!!!! Thought you'd enjoy it too :)

Married to my wonderful Husband, Gene, for 35 years with one beautiful Daughter, Michelle Darlene (Micki) in Heaven. Loving her and missing her every day since she left us 3-1/2 years ago. She courageously battled Crohn's Disease for 23 long years and she continues to inspire me each and every day. Gene has been battling severe multi-level spinal stenosis for 5 years now, but he's always in good spirits in spite of it. I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer on 7/9/10 and it's been one heck of a ride ever since. We learned that it had spread to my brain in September bringing me to Stage IV; and I had the amazing "Gamma Knife" procedure, along with a surgery to install a shunt in my brain. God is sooooooo good cuz He has surrounded us with an amazing amount of love and support from sooooooo many wonderful folks. We have a little 3 pound munchkin ... a little Yorkie named Dolly Darlene; and she basically rules our little castle. I'm a gal in love with Jesus and quilting is what keeps me sane in this journey that we call "life." It is truly my passion!!!
See----the perfect person came along. And I love the pic of the little girl.
