It has been a tough week areound here, car bills, found out we need a new furnace, kid broke her cello bow and DH and I quite sick in the midst of it all.

Last night though, I took a meal over to a family here in town. I never met them before, the dad pastors a small church. He has leukemia and has weeks to live. Mom and three young kids all have diabetes, the fourth child has Juvenile rhematoid arthritis. I think I have problems….nothing I am dealing with, even a possible layoff for DH, is anywhere near what they are dealing with and have ahead of them.

I am humbled and amazed at their faith and strength. Such beautiful people.  I am wondering how I can put the emotions I feel into a journal quilt. I don’t know where to begin. And can it even be done? Can a journal quilt hold all of this?

DH is off to the car show for the day with the kids. I am off to ponder things I know I cannot resolve in my own mind. Somehow that doesn’t keep me from trying.

Here is a small quilt I made a while back called Perspective. The quilt has raised tucks with a different color on each side. As it is hung on the wall, the piece looks different depending on the angle you look at it.
