Hi Dear Cutie Sisters,

I just wanted to say Hello so you won't think I've fallen off the fhe ace of the Earth. I've just had a combination of health problems and family challenges. t takes a lot of my days to manage all the challenges.. not just the meds, appointments and PT, but all that time on the phone arranging things and working "with" the insurance companies. grrrr
Maybe you remember I started the Koolen DeVries syndrome Facebook group. We had 24 families to start and now it is up to 1,540 members! Those families are so busy raising their kids with special needs, it seems I'm the one who has the time to manage the site. It has become quite a mission, especially for the ones who are very ill, and for the other parents whose children have passed away from effects of the syndrome. So now I am feeling like I should have become a grief counselor.
I have been making Hug Quilts for the ones who are the sickest.
I do find some time to do some embroidery, which I still love.. I made this bag of places we have gone. One side is national attractions, the other side is more personal places. I don't know if I had shown to to anyone yet. I used Embrilliance to make some of the designs completely from an idea and a few others I combined designs.
You are all still very special to me. I do check in once in a while and try to comment on a few at least.
Hug and Love,
Jan. aka hightechgrammy
