I know I said I wanted to keep blogging, but this is supposed to be a quilt blog and I am not quilting. I was always the first to say that quilting had saved my sanity back when we were waiting for Charlie to get a lung. I never would have believed that I would lose the desire to quilt. When Charlie died, my world came to a screeching halt and I have very little interest in anything right now. I am sorry for that because I have not stopped thinking about all my quilting friends. I miss you all.
I thought I'd include a recent picture of Lilith. I don't know what I would do without her. She is my constant companion and follows me everywhere. Charlie is the one who insisted she move into our house and our lives. I consider her a gift from him.
My grand niece is getting married in October and expects a quilt like everyone else, so I am going to give it a try. If I manage to make one, I will post a picture.
Know that I am thinking of all of you. Julie
so sorry to hear about your loss, my heart & prayers go out to you,as you begin this quilt I pray that it brings healing to your heart as well as restoration of the gift of quilting God has placed in your hands

Julie, know that we are thinking of you. (And praying for you.) Maybe once you get started on the wedding quilt, it will prime your interest.:-) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs your way. It is amazing how cats make such a presence in our lives. No worries, you'll find your quilt mojo again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kitty - glad she is there with you. I'm sure your love of quilting will return one of these days. Hugs and prayers to you.
ReplyDeletePlease know that there are so many of us out here who are thinking of you and wishing you all the best. Give yourself time to heal and squeeze that adorable kitty a lot.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you so very often, too, Julie! Miss you and my frequent trips to Elk Horn.
ReplyDeleteJulie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Just remember to be gentle with yourself and give yourself time to grieve. It always takes longer than you think to start to feel like yourself.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I was doing some "organizing" in my quilting room yesterday, and came upon some patterns from one of your retreats-such great memories!!! Think of you so often and pray for strength for you. Sue Nielsen
ReplyDeleteAunt Julie - I'm sending you a big hug. I think of you everyday and we pray for you every night. I love you and wish I could do more. Lilith is such a beautiful cat and this picture is frameable :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see your post, Julie, and the picture of your adorable cat. Felines have the uncanny ability to soothe us - they seem so wise sometimes. Yes, you are lucky to have her in your life. Give yourself time to refresh after your loss. Every day is a new gift, and maybe someday, you'll get the urge to rummage around in your stash and new quilt ideas will pop into your head. Thinking of you!
