Moving On from His OPUS

Gary's Opus
Old Glory
Sometimes life just happens in ways you had no idea it would be.  This is what is going on here.  First of all ,our son needs a kidney and since Obama care changed things for people, that is a change no one was ready for; LEAST of all, the medical world.  Unaware to him and all waiting  transplant patients; they were thrown into this new care under Medicare.  He has a disease that is multifocal and not curable, he needs a kidney as soon as he can. He is maintained at around 10% function with cycled Peritoneal Dialysis at night for 10 hours.
 God is blessing him and his family; they are close to having half of the 20% (for him $60,000) in a Fund. He needs this set aside to even go forward in finding a match.  He may be the first kidney transplant at IU in Indianapolis, Indiana that accomplished a fund for a kidney.  I know it is humbling for him but he will be so glad to walk on in his life after the "transplant"....finishing up his last 6 months of his Masters' there in Bloomington.  So, that is our #1 change at this time.
Shop Entrance....or was going to be :)
Fig Tree Quilt......my Fav!!
  Second change is our auctioning of our cabin.  We built it ourselves and there are years of work and blood, sweat and tears, as they say, put into it.  My husbands perseverance and talent and devotion is nothing less than amazing to me and for him to be able to walk away from it, is also a testimony of his character.  His love for family and his Lord comes first.
  In a few weeks, we will be moving back to a farm in SC that we renovated and began to make into a horse farm a few years ago. We actually have already taken the first load down.  ALL my fabric is there!!  We hope to finish the property and then sell it as a horse farm. SO,  after we have finished these two "works" we feel we can then decide where we will settle down to retire in.

  The first thing we will do is rent a Bush Hog in SC after more than 2 years of weeds, trees and growth welcome us back there!!......and fire ant hills  :(.......
  But I will quilt....we will love....we will dream......and with health....and energy we will go forward....our God will lead us.....we want to serve Him totally with our lives; where ever we may roam.....

Swoon Barn Quilts
  I will miss my quilting studio.....it was wonderful....and I am most grateful for the experience of loving my husband like I do and to build this "OPUS" with him......we may build again, if God allows it; but nothing like this.....built for a  BB.....a haven of Hope and Joy.....

  To Our God Be All The Glory....for Great things HE has done......

  Quilted Blessings!!!   Karen The Quilter

                                  course, so I can load my HOUSE quilt back onto
                                  the frame to finish it so, of course!! another top is
                                  ready to be finished....it is that way in a Quilter's

                                    Emily's Quilt  is a  neat way to cut up a full sized
