Quotes and Virtual Hugs

Over the last Christmas season, my grandaughter was participating in the Ballet Austin's Nutcracker.  It is customary to give a performer at least one flower at the end of their performance.  Living several states away meant I could not do this.  As her mother headed up to see the ballet, I asked her to tell Jacy, in some special way, I was sending her a bouquet. 

When the time came, her mom hugged her, and said the virtual (Texas) yellow roses, were from her nana and Grandpa Mike.  Without missing a beat, she said, "Oh, I wondered who those were from.  They were my favorite."

Maybe someone you know needs a virtual bouquet, or a virtual hug.  "Every passing minute is another chance to turn around."

Project at Hand

I'm trying to grow Once Roses into a finished quilt.  The machine part is done.  Now onto the handwork.  I am also working on what the background for Jambalaya Journey should be, and a birthday card for Quilting Arts magazine.  We'll see.
