Before I share my finished project, I'd like to ask for
your prayers in behalf of my young friend, Daniel,
who is fighting his second round of leukemia.

Daniel spent most of his high school years fighting
this dreaded disease and was in and out of hospitals.
Finally, his senior year in high school things looked
good and he was able to go to school.  Then in
March of this year, after going in for a blood check,
it was discovered his leukemia was back and things
weren't looking so good.  But, Daniel is a fighter!

He was determined he would attend Seminary
Graduation and walk with his Senior Class in
June of this year which he did.  We were so proud
of him.  It was touch and go as he had just gone a
round of chemo.

Thursday morning about 4:00 a.m. he was taken into
ICU with a fever of 104F and fluid on his lungs.
He is still in ICU.  I just spoke with him and his
Mother and he is hanging in there.  The Bone
Marrow aspirate they just did shows the cancer
is increasing and the last two chemo treatments
aren't working.  So they will go back to what
they used in May.  They were so hoping they
could do a bone marrow transplant but that is on
hold for now.

So, if you could find it in your hearts to say a
prayer for him and his family, it would mean a
lot.  His mother is the backbone of the family
and is the soul support as his father has been
diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's.

Finally finished my table topper last evening.
It has only taken me a year.  LOL

















It feels so good to cross off one more completed
project from my list.

Now on to the next one.  Center is all pieced.  I used
the mini charm pack squares from Moda's
"Remembrance" I received in the mail after
submitting my "One Star" blocks.  Hopefully I
will have a chance to work on it more this weekend.


















Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're
having a wonderful day.
