I love how you extended the background fabric "thru" the inner border.<br /><br />As a long time Red Cross volunteer, let me reassure you that your financial donations do a LOT of good. I've worked with hordes of volunteers, giving lots of time and energy, but only money can procure the raw materials we need to help those in need: food, blankets, cots, fuel for the trucks that carry all that, etc. We are grateful to our donors every day for giving us the tools we need to get the job done.<br /><br />Since we can't volunteer time on this disaster, we will be giving money.<br /><br />Houston's floods are a marathon, not a sprint. It's good for you to take time away from the TV coverage to rest and renew. Then your spirit will be ready to be even more compassionate. I can tell you have a big and tender heart :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-64789852795276321272017-08-31T09:07:20.800-04:002017-08-31T09:07:20.800-04:00First of all, I love your hollyhocks quilt, and th...First of all, I love your hollyhocks quilt, and the batiks scattered around are just right. Second, I laughed out loud at your description of "mullet". :-D And third, what a lovely post about Houston and surrounding areas. Like you I've had a disinclination to to any of the things I need or want to do and have watched TV rescues and press conferences and cried and prayed. It is so hard to fathom the devastation and heartbreak. My heart is aching, but I'm ready to get back to normal with deep gratitude for our blessings. Your closing photos - what beauty!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-53652493773417558752017-08-31T07:18:10.412-04:002017-08-31T07:18:10.412-04:00Loving those hollyhocks!

We lived a few block from it for nine years, moving in 2004. Your Hollyhock quilt is lovely. I will be eager to see your Lake Michigan quilt. We camped along the lake, and lived along the lake later. Michigan is such a beautiful state.Nancy A.

My cousin lives there and their house took on a lot of water- really awful. But she is safe and has a great attitude. It has been a horrendous disaster though.
