Since this week we had a general election I thought it would be a great time to finish my patriotic Prayer quilt for church. The quilt turned out looking a little more childish than I meant it to be, but oh well. I was super hyped that I just used left over fabric that I had from fourth of July napkins I had made earlier this year. I just love to use scraps of fabric instead of having to buy new fabric.
The election fell on the sixth anniversary of my mother passing away and I was also a little nervous/shell shocked from the 2016 election. So my hubby and best friend sat down Tuesday and watched the results. Turns out my predictions (that both of my male viewers didn't think would happen) were right. There are so many newly elected officials that are a first of their kind, and I am so flipping excited. I think my mom would have been excited. She made a point to vote before she passed away. Two official people came to her hospital to get her vote for the 2012 general election. The pollers were even able to go around and have a few other oncology patients vote as well. It's odd because I didn't get to vote that year because I didn't want to leave my mother's side and drive the two hours away to vote those last few weeks/days.
