What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

In my clean up and re organizing I found another old pattern, that I haven’t shared yet. Summer Sensations, is a paper pieced Camping quilt. The size is a lap blanket, or can be used for picnicking.

Here is another free pattern up for grabs, an applique pattern, bunny ears. I designed this pattern for a throw pillow in a little girls room.

Hi everyone, I am looking for someone who can test some paper pieced butterfly patterns. There are 5 different butterflies. If you are willing, please use the contact form if you are interested. Then I can email the pattern to you. My only requirement is a picture of the finished block, and some feedback about the pattern.

I have found myself suddenly at a point in my life, without realizing that I have been traveling that way for awhile now. And to be honest, I have noticed a lot of people suffering the same fate. Especially during this Covid Pandemic the past two years. It is called languishing. Merriam Webster Defines languishing as to be drained of energy or vitality to be or live in a state of lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern having lost enthusiasm and hope; disheartened Not everyone who is languishing will experience it in the same way or with the same intensity ...

Journeying through the Psalms Psalm 62:1-8 Trust God. David offers a supreme description of pure trust in God. The Psalm has three parts, the first part confesses reliance on God, the second part speaks of trust and hope, and the last part explains why this is possible. This is such a beautiful declaration of David’s total dependence upon God. And David speaks to the righteous, encouraging them to rely on God. What is true of the king, is expanded to include the whole family of God. David expressed his feelings to God and then reaffirmed his faith. Prayer ...

Journeying through the Psalms Psalm 19:1-4 Both God’s creation and his Word reveals his greatness! In this Psalm, David’s steps of meditation take him from creation, through God’s Word, through David’s own sinfulness, to salvation. We are surrounded by fantastic displays of God’s craftmanship. The heavens give dramatic evidence of his existence, his power, his love, his care. To say that the universe happened by chance is absurd. It’s design, intricacy, and orderliness point to a personally involved Creator. As you look at God’s handiwork in nature and the heavens, thank him ...

Day 6. ENGAGE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” Spiritual warfare can seem difficult to understand, but the Bible makes it very clear that we have an enemy who is trying to steal from us, kill us, and destroy us. As we pray, we take our stand against the enemy and fight from a place of victory through Jesus as we are empowered by His Holy Spirit. There is power in God’s Word, and every lie the enemy has told us can be replaced with God’s truth ...

Day 3. PRAY HIS AGENDA FIRST “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” Part of being a child of God is caring about what He cares about. We know His will is perfect, and we acknowledge His wisdom and sovereignty when we pray His agenda first. He will always give you all you need from day to day if you will make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. LUKE 12:31 Spend time focusing on what God is focused on. His priorities include: Saving the lost Wisdom and guidance for those in ...

Day 4. DEPEND ON HIM FOR EVERYTHING “Give us this day our daily bread”God promises to supply all our needs, and He wants us to come to Him with our problems, needs, and desires and to trust Him to provide. “I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!” PSALM 121:1-2 Ask God for what you need today. It may help to write down the concerns weighing on your mind or the desires of your heart. You can bring them to God and trust ...

Homily based on Matthew 15: 21-28 “We need to talk.” These four words are a call to attention and have the potential to immediately strike fear in the ears of the listener. It is the classic introduction to a break-up conversation, or bad news is going to be delivered. It indicates that something big is happening and a tough conversation is coming. A woman presents with an urgent plea, shouting for Jesus to help her daughter, and what follows is perhaps one of the toughest conversations recorded in our gospels. And it almost does not happen. The response from Jesus ...

Day 2. WORSHIP HIS NAME “Hallowed Be Your Name” God loves when we worship Him, and there is power in His Name. Here is a list of some of His Names to help us worship Him specifically and personally: God is Righteousness – He makes us clean God is Sanctifier – He has called us and set us apart God is Healer – He heals all our diseases God is Banner of Victory – He defeated our enemies God is Shepherd – He speaks to us and leads us God is Peace – He is our peace in every storm God is Provider – He supplies all ...

Today is the start of a prayer series. Something new that I am trying on the blog. This one will run for 7 days, and is based on the Lord’s Prayer. THE LORD’S PRAYER The Lord’s Prayer is often recited in churches or at religious events, but there is so much more to this prayer. Jesus provided this model as an outline to teach us how to pray in a way that connects us to God and empowers us to accomplish great things through Him. This model takes us through each part of The Lord’s Prayer ...

Almighty God, Pour out Your Spirit we pray, on Christian leaders and those that are guiding or teaching a flock of believers. May there be a reawakening of the desperate need for each Christian believer to stand transparent before our God, and to give the Holy Spirit permission to search out the inner thoughts of our hearts, so that He may identify each and every area of our inner life that grieves Him or quenches His working within our lives. Lord, we all need to repent not only individually but as the body of Christ for the careless ways into ...

Happy Women’s day! Today I share with you my Rector’s sermon from this morning. Reflection During these uncertain times, in a boat rocked by stormy weather, waves crashing into the boat, and strong winds threatening to overturn and sink us, being soaked to the bone in the pouring rain, not one of us are comfortable. We are unsure of what is going to happen next, we are not sure which way to go, or to go anywhere at all. The Rector’s beautiful and powerful message says it all. May you find strength and endurance in God, and ...

Lord,We have seen that so much of Christendom has strayed from the paths of righteousness, that at times we almost feel that there is no one else left that is truly seeking Your face and lifting up the name of the Lord Jesus. And yet, we are reminded that when Elijah felt equally alone and spiritually isolated that You reminded Him that there were seven thousand other faithful believers, who had not compromised their faith nor bowed the knee to Baal. Lord,forgive us for our critical spirit towards the church of today, knowing that You have many faithful ...

Heavenly Father, pour out Your Holy Spirit like a mighty flood into the hearts of all Your people, those who are called by Your name. May our hearts be washed by the water of the Word and may the purifying light of the Holy Spirit cleanse the thoughts, wash the hearts and purify the minds of those who are part of the church, which is Your Body. Lord, we pray that You would purify the hearts and minds of all Your people so that our thoughts are ever turned toward the Lord Jesus. May we as individual members and also ...

Dear Lord Jesus, You are our Prince of Peace and You prayed for unity in the body of Christ, that we may be united in love just as You are united with the Father in love. Give Your children the desire to love one another as You have loved us, and let the world know that we are Your disciples by our love for one another. Give us a hunger to live in union with each another, and may we be united as one, in the bond of peace and fellowship, in the Spirit. This we ask in Jesus’ name ...

Father, I abandon myself into your hands.Do with me what you will,Whatever you may do, I thank you.I am ready for all, I accept all.Let only your will be done in me,and in all creatures.I wish no more than this, Lord.I offer myself to you with all the love of my heart,for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve,and with boundless confidence:For You are my Father.Amen. Sourced from “Travelling along the Anglican Way” Brother Charles de Foucauld of ...

Today I share my Rector’s sermon with you, and a bit of reflection. The sermon today is titled “Wrestling with God” I have spent more sleepless nights wrestling with God, than I care to admit. Agonizing over problems and issues. And with impatience with God taking too long to answer prayers, or not making things happen. In a lot of ways like Jacob, I want to know now, what it is what God wants from me. Most of the time, I am 99% convinced what God wants from me, but then I remember all the obstacles in my way ...

Hi everyone,today’s reflection was hosted by my parish, St Francis Toti. You can read it via the link above or here below. Mark 4:30-34 30 He said, “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? 31 It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. 32 But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can ...
