Michelle’s mother Marian, was a master quilter who made this beautiful quilt for Michael many years ago. Marian’s quiliting skills were amazing and her attention to detail was a tedious pursuit. Creating a quilt was definitely a labor of love. In turn, Michael has loved his quilt. He used it regularly and over the course of time it was damaged. Michelle picked up the baton of love and did a major repair on this quilt. She spent endless hours, finishing in time to present “the prize” to Michael on his birthday.

Tongiht I give thanks to God for my siblings- Vicky, Cindy, Derik and Darin. I am blessed to have their kindness and love and examples in my life. They are each noble souls, doing good within their circles of influence. It was wonderful to see them all at our recent family gathering, Dad’s 80th birthday. And did I mention that they are all strong as well? We didn’t drop dear father during our photo shoot.
