The Piece Quilters

These amazing women quilt in the basement of a church, so they named their group “The Piece Quilters” since they were in the house of worship; quite clever. Plus, it fits with their mission; they raise funds for needy people. They also make quilts as a gift for each first responder in their community a quilt. If someone needs a warm blanket, they respond to those in need. It was a blessing to meet these women, and of course, I had to purchase some quilts. They are in Dow City, Iowa, if you want to buy a quilt from them.

Happy Birthday

I am blessed with three wonderful children, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish one of my grown children a happy birthday!

I hope you all have blessed day!

It is exciting to have had the opportunity to be on several podcasts this month and write an article for a magazine. When I think back to when I first started to where I am now, I am deeply honored.

The interviews, articles, and letters from you let me know I am where I am supposed to be in this chapter of my life. I hope you enjoy this newsletter and all the links to the interviews and articles. Check out the News regarding my next book and my new awards.

Happy Father’s Day!

Last month we celebrated our moms, and now it is time to celebrate the men in our life. I am blessed to have had a loving, hard-working dad George Mural Floyd was a self-made man, as most depression and WWII vets are. he showed us that it takes a can-do attitude, patience, willingness to learn, and, most importantly, Faith that God will provide. My children will tell you their dad is the best! I could write a book about all of his qualities. My kiddos are very lucky to have him for their dad.
