What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Do you ever find yourself in a vicious cycle of trying to prove yourself to other people? Me too. I’m not sure when it all started, maybe when I was a kid, a teenager, or later. While I was thinking about it today, I wondered ....

It’s easy, especially right now, to get caught up in some negative stuff. And when you work hard at a project, and everything seems to go wrong, it’s easy to want to give up. That’s what happened to me while I was making the Lemoyne ....

Finding peace amid this pandemic isn’t always easy, is it? When I began this scrappy quilt series, it was to help distract you and me in these uncertain times. I hope it brought some fun and joy to your life. It sure has helped me ....

I looked out the window to see a gift of joy. Let me explain. You know, perhaps, that pink has become a sign of comfort and love from God to me. It all started with beautiful sunrises and sunsets early in the year. I began ....

Do you remember when you were a kid, spinning around in circles until you were so dizzy you fell down? And giggled and laughed when you tried to walk. Throwing all your cares aside (if indeed you had any) giving into the joy of life ....

It's been a weekend of discoveries just outside the door. These precious little pink blooms appeared on the top of a lemon-scented geranium that I planted in a pot out on the patio. The flowers are truly secondary, I bought the plant as a natural mosquito repellent, it's grown quite large (from now on I'll realize that it needs its own pot as it has taken over and crowded out the Million Bells

I woke up this morning with the sound of birds singing their beautiful songs. And I decided to put my day in God’s Hands. Here’s Why. I was suddenly aware of this truth.If you are taking a breath right now, this very minute, God wants ....

Grace, Love, and Fellowship. I think it’s a perfect description of quilting. Especially when you’re creating something and gifting it to someone. It’s an expression of love. The three blocks we’re creating this week are so similar, it seemed like a great idea to do ....

One of my favorite scriptures is Ephesians 2:10. I love that God has prepared for us good works in advance.  I find it amazing, beautiful, and comforting. There was a morning recently that I needed to feel God’s comfort and presence.  I was sitting in ....

For as many times as I’ve made a block with triangle units in it, even with perfect piecing methods, sometimes things don’t work out so good. Sure, I could have tossed it aside and created a new block. But I didn’t. It is what it ....

Greetings in Christ! We are fast approaching the Day of Pentecost, in just one week, which will end the Season of Eastertide. And I find myself reflecting upon the texts from our readings from Ascension day, including tomorrow’s readings. For many, the lockdown has been a trying time for many reasons, and there is no end in sight. People are hungry, cold, sick, dying, lonely, depressed, losing jobs, struggling financially and this all includes the church communities. The pastors are working harder than ever, to keep everything and everyone together and a sinking ship afloat. In last weeks reflections ...

What’s fabric got to do with being humble? Grab a cup of coffee and I’ll tell you what I saw when I studied our block this week. Have you ever had a job that you loved doing?You know full well that you don’t have the ....

I can see comfort in that half square triangle, can you? *The 1/2 Square triangle is Block 5 of the Scrappy Sampler Series – just finding us? Why not join today? Maybe I can see that because of the quilts I made for my kids ....

The four patch block is a basic quilt block. But it’s everywhere. And those sophisticated blocks, that make quilts move and dance? They’d be nothing without the behind the scenes work of this simple block. Sometimes it’s the ones that aren’t noticed that add to ....

I finished the quilt about 6 years ago, but I never named it. One morning during a time of meditation, I opened my eyes, and there it was! God Within! God Within. I see the center of the quilt as light. A beacon of hope. ....

Can you picture it? A humongous boat with pairs of animals walking into it? Two By Two? Every living creature on the earth? It must have been a sight to see. Personally, I could have done without the biting insects and snakes. And by the ....

I never had a vision when I began this little blog in September 2007. I just wrote because I loved writing and I wanted to document our days. What we did. How we cooked. Where we lived. Who we were. And I never really thought about folks stopping by to visit. But you did. And you do. And thank you for doing so. This dirt road will always welcome you So I thought I ought to document the

I composed Waiting Last April I felt like I was waiting for something, but not sure what it was. If felt like an appropriate time to record and publish it. This was recorded using the voice memo feature on my I-pad. The I pad was ....
