Is anyone interested in a swap? I received 2 purple charm squares in the mail today. In order to participate I need 4 quilting friends to send squares to and in turn they send 4 to quilt friends. If you participate you will end up with enough squares to make a nickle quilt or something similar. I think it sounds like fun by maybe that's just me. If you want to participate please leave me a note in my comments.
I'm feeling very sad today. A woman from my church who I've known for over 5 years got hit by a car and was killed right in front of the church last Friday. I had a cold on Sunday so didn't go to church or I would have been there for the announcement and prayers. I will go to the memorial service on April 3 though. She's also in my bible study, which was cancelled this week because they said they lost the DVD we've been using. So I ended up seeing the story about the accident and then her obituary in yesterday's local paper. I sure wish I'd heard about it at church surrounded by others who knew her.
She was 78 and was a cancer survivor plus had had knee replacement surgery on both legs. But she had so much energy and she was so cheerful all the time. She started a program to make sandwiches one day a month at the church to be sent to a main church downtown to feed the homeless. It's a collaboration involving many churches but she made sure it was done by our church every month.
I feel so sad. She wasn't a close friend but she's someone who was always there. She was an added perk to going to worship each Sunday and going to bible studies.

So sad to hear about your friend!
I am so sorry to hear about your friend! Someone from the Bible Study group should have made sure everyone knew! Sounds like she led a full, happy life!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your church family--
It sounds as though she was a happy contented person and that is all we can really ask of one another these days---so the blessing is yours for having known her and her love!
Hugs, Di
