Mia's 40th Quilt Square: Dayton, Ohio


We had another quilt square making get together at Lisa's house on Saturday, September 9th. Lisa is my best friend. Peyton, her daughter, is in the yellow shirt. T.T. is behind her with Lisa across and then Chris, Lisa's mom. They all sat down and put their creative talents to work. As you can see by how hard they're working, they really got into it. T.T.'s 7 yr old son, Drew, also made Mia a quilt square. Scroll down to see the finished products.

This is from Lisa. I love this square. Not just because it's from someone who will be very important in Mia's life or because it's my favorite colors (love the camo). But because it includes this quote, which is so ironic considering it's the exact same sentiments that I expressed recently on my blog in remembering the anniversary of my illness and recovery. I guess she knows me...maybe better than I thought. :)

"The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is: A miracle and unrepeatable." ~Storm Jameson. Her wish for Mia reads "We have all been blessed to the gift of being here on earth, so remember to live your life in celebration of that gift. Promise me to never regret any decision or path you may choose and remember to learn something each day from your decisions and to NEVER live in regrets. I love you, Auntie Lisa"

I love it Lisa... and I love you, too.
