What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Quilts aren’t just scraps of fabric thrown together. They embody the Fruit of the Spirit. Love, Peace, Joy, Kindness, Patience, Faithfulness, Self-Control, Gentleness, Goodness. Those gifts from the Holy Spirit are working in our lives every time we sit down and create.   How? When you ....

When Covid came to our doorstep, I was afraid. I remember standing at the kitchen sink, washing dishes with my hands trembling. Covid struck terror in my heart. For a long time, I was afraid and ashamed to admit I had those fears. Have you ....

While musing about the fruit of faithfulness, the faithful servant in Matthew 25:14-28, and my Flying geese quilt, I started asking myself some questions. What’s does it mean to be a faithful servant? Who’s she being faithful to? Why does it matter to us? And ....

Do you get bored and drift, making quilts? Yeah, me too. That’s one of the reasons I ended up with so many UFOs. The appeal of the project fades a little when you’ve made a bunch of blocks. Or when another quilt catches your fancy. ....

Do you wonder if your patient enough to work on a quilt? To do hand sewing or hand applique? Do you hesitate to start because you don’t believe you’ll have the patience and endurance to keep at it? Believe me, I ain’t that patient, but ....
