The machines in the "MooseStash" have been working overtime for quite awhile, now.
I delivered 5 more of these boot quilts,
to family members who lost their son in a car accident last summer.
Christmas probably wasn't the best time to do it, but I wanted each of them
to have their own memory quilt. There were more tears, but hopefully
they will bring them comfort as the pain subsides.
This handsome guy went to my daughter-in-laws, mom who lost her
beloved horse this summer. He had a tooth that was growing down into his jaw,
went into surgery and died coming out of the anesthesia.
We are all ready for a fresh new year, with hopefully much less drama and loss.

Things have started looking up already...
Yesterday, I was notified that a package was on it's way...
I have been picked up for another year as an ambassador for "Island Batik".
I can't tell you just how excited I am about it!
It's hard to believe that I'm starting my 5th year with them, already.
It seems like just yesterday...
Next Monday starts our
You get to see all the new lines that are out,
as well as loads of inspiration on how to use them.
I may be biased...OK, I am biased...
But it's going to be incredible!!!
You won't want to miss it.
It is a bittersweet time for the Ambassadors, as it is the last time the 2018 team
will all be together. While we will miss the ones not returning, it's always exciting
to see the energy and creativity the new ones bring!
