Snow Day 3

School has been canceled for a 3rd day! We haven't had that happen here in DFW in almost 25 years! Many of my friends have experienced the rolling black outs today. We have been lucky so far.

Today I have nothing to complain about. What weighs on my mind today is my fellow quilters in Australia. They were hit with Cyclone Yasi today. Queensland had already been suffering from floods. Now, a Category 5 sized cyclone. CNN reports 155mph sustained winds.

I pray, and I hope you will too, that God has put his protective arms around those people and that he helps them though the coming days, weeks, and months.

If anyone wants to help quilters in Australia, here is a link that tells you how. This was for Flood victims in that same area originally, now I am sure there will be even more that need it.

It may seem silly, in the wake of a cyclone, but quilting is therapy. It helps calm a person. I am sure they need more than just quilt supplies also but I don't have info on that yet.
