It has been too long
Well you can tell it has been a long time since I have written a post.  I write up the title "Dear John 3:16", hit enter and what happens, it post.  But, I wasn't ready, so now I will finish what I started.  Modern equipmemt!  Things just disappear. 
A 12 year old girl in my home town, had surgery yesterday.  She probably weights 60 pounds, as she has been sick for a long time.  Come to find out she had a tumor on her kidney, and it is cancerous.  The town has had several benefits for her family to help defray the horrible expenses.  Back to the surgery, they removed a 2 pound tumor from her kidney, when you are as small as she is, 2 pounds is huge!  Now back to the benefits, they have had several, and so Sunday night the ministarial association will have a hamburger/hotdog feed, along with a silent auction.  I decided to make a quilt to give to the cause.  I picked out the fabric, not thinking of what I was doing.  I started a Saturday morning, cut out the fabric and by afternoon I had a wallhanging.  I had done the pattern before and it was super easy.  Well I hung the quilt on the design wall, stepped back and all I could think was, "Oh no, John Deere".  So after some thought I decided to name the quilt "Dear John 3:16", and it does seem to fit.  You see, I used tractor fabric for the backing so that everyone who sees the quilt will understand.  Here are two photos of the quilt.
