We were very upset to learn that one of the ladies in our quilt group passed away about 10 days ago.  She had some type of respiratory ailment that was never going to get better, but the doctors had predicted she’d have 3-4 years left in her.  Unfortunately, she went to Denver to receive a specialized treatment that was supposed to help her … and she never made it home.

Maggie was a fiber arts expert and her projects have been published in a number of books.  She was a lover of all things textile, and we convinced her to start quilting – and she made her first quilt about three months ago.  We were as proud of her project as she was!

My oldest daughter thought Maggie was the cat’s pajamas.  We had tried for months to set up a date for DD#1 to go to spend a few hours with Maggie, because Maggie had competed (and WON) a much-coveted sled dog race in Alaska – something our daughter wants to do when she grows up.

Maggie – I know heaven has relieved your pain – but, we sure love you and miss you!
