In 2021, her family was hit hard with COVID and were all hospitalized. Judy shared a room with her 29-year-old son Caleb. Tragically, his lungs collapsed, and he passed away. He left behind his wife and two beautiful little girls, just 3 years old and 2 months old at the time.

Judy then suffered a major stroke. She was hospitalized for months. What she has walked through since then has not been easy, but she has fought her way back. Step by step, word by word, she has regained her speech and her ability to walk. She is truly a testament of grace, strength, and unwavering faith… a warrior in every sense of the word.

This quilt is being made especially for her. 💖

Thank you so much for being part of something so meaningful. I can’t wait to see your beautiful block and all the love that goes into it. 🧵✨

I cut up my F8s tonight and cannot locate my little baggies so I guess I’ll grab my labels and start afresh. I know once I make them, the old baggies will pop up. lol.

Remember, as you cut your fabrics, you will be sending me 19, regardless of how many swappers we have. We’ll do just fine with a small number of swappers but I’m hoping for at least a couple last minute additions.

I’m off to rest. Have a good night Bloomers! I couldn’t resist.
