A song that speaks to me

As you probably know, this past year has been a bit rough. I heard this song on the radio a couple of days ago, and it's wonderful! I think I may have to buy this one.

BY YOUR SIDE
JAMIE SLOCUM

And I know there's a plan for you
Your life has a purpose
There's hope beyond your broken road
Jesus set a place for you
At the front of the table with the weary and the wounded
And He's showing the way, the truth,
the life for every day
So when you lose your way

CHORUS:
Don't give up, don't give in
This is a race that you can win
Every time you get passed by
There is a reason why
God loves and believes in you
He knows the pain that you're going
through
He's with you every step of the way
And He's by your side

When your life comes crashing in
You're a ship without a sail
Everything you've tried has failed you
Never thought you'd feel so sad
It's a nightmare without end
It's getting harder to defend it
God will send his heavenly host to fight
for you and help you walk on through it

CHORUS:
Don't give up, don't give in
This is a race that you can win
Every time you get passed by
There is a reason why
God loves and believes in you
He knows the pain that you're going
through
He's with you every step of the way
And He's by your side

By your side every day every night

CHORUS:
Don't give up, don't give in
This is a race that you can win
Every time you get passed by
And you've lost your way

CHORUS:
Don't give up, don't give in
This is a race that you can win
Every time you get passed by
There is a reason why
God loves and believes in you
He knows the pain that you're going
through
He's with you every step of the way

REPEAT CHORUS

Don't give up, don't give in
This is a race that you can win
Every time you get passed by
There is a reason why
God loves and believes in you
He knows the pain that you're going
through
He's with you every step of the way
And He's by your side

Crazy quilt

This is a quilt I made for one of my sons and his wife. So easy!

Ordering Patchwork 4 Ways

You can now place your order for an autographed or unautographed copy of Patchwork 4 Ways. The cost is $25, which includes shipping via media mail. I'm pretty low-tech here, so email me with your order. I accept payment via paypal. I will email you back when I receive your order, so wait to get my return email before sending payment, in case the order gets lost in cyberspace somewhere. If you are in Missouri, I will have to add sales tax. Sorry, but you know how these things work. I have copies now and will receive 30 more this week.

Here is the link to American Quilters Society (AQS)with information about the book.

It's here!

I received my 20 copies of my book today. I have 30 more ordered to sell, and should be getting them soon. I'm pretty excited about it all.

It's ready!

Patchwork 4 Ways is published! I just received a notice that my copies are on their way to my door via USPS. I can't wait! This is quite exciting! :) Just last week, AQS sent me 200 copies of a flier for my book. It still sound strange to me, saying, "my book." It's unreal. But fun. :)

It's almost time...

....I have received word from AQS that my book is in the final stages of being put together. The estimated date of release is October 20th! I'm eagerly awaiting the pages that they will send me before they send it to the printer. It's pretty exciting, yet unreal at the same time.

The book is coming soon!!

I'm so excited! I just got an emailed copy of the book cover. If you follow this link, you can see the ad for the book on the AQS website. Pretty fun, huh? :)http://www.americanquilter.com/books_supplies/item_detail.php?id=8027
