sloooooowly stitching . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It was a relatively slow week, stitch-wise. Our church's VBS started today, and I spent a lot of the preparing for that! I did get some stitching in, though. Almost finished up the standing pilgrim on my Coming to America piece . . .

I have about 90 minutes of free time from my last VBS music rotation to the closing rally, so I'll take this project with me and work on it each night. Maybe I'll have all *three* pilgrims on the boat finished by week's (or VBS's) end.

I am still unpacking and organizing things from ...

Twas the day before Quilt Canada - also known as SET UP DAY!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

And that's a wrap for set-up day! I have to say that with a great team, the day progressed very nicely.

In addition to our giant booth, we had to set up two classrooms of sewing machines, so with the help of a paid laborer and a volunteer, we got the rooms set up in pretty short order. But not before arriving and not finding any machines waiting for us. And I get it—they are busy, and well, I've learned that the squeaky wheel gets the job done.

So I marched off to the loading dock and ...

The LONG WAY home from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I was WIDE AWAKE at 3:30 and waited patiently for my alarm to ring at 4:30, which it did, and then, well, I just had a good sleep, and now I'm behind! But that's OK.

I didn't sleep well on the plane for some reason, but that's a story for another day.

We had to be at the airport at 5 PM, so we had time for another adventure. We decided to drive on the west side of Maui. And we were of the mindset that we could drive entirely around that section, even ...

SUNRISE, SUNSHINE, SUNSET from Q-BITS

I live in the banana belt of Colorado, where the sunrises are glorious, and the sunsets are wonderful going down behind the mountains. In between the rise and set, we have sunshine 300+ days a year. It is a blessing to live in my native state of Colorado.

This is my last quilt for 2023. A New Year is upon us, and the sun will rise again tomorrow.

I wish you the joy of God's love, health, safety, and peace in 2024.

grand ol' time . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

So with a crew far away in California, and a crew kinda doing their own thing this year, Todd and I just chilled (on the boat on the lake) and let the pictures of the good times roll in! First, I had delivered the placemats for the local crew . . .

I got a good one of the girls (well, two of them ... Evey had a headache that evening, poor dear) and a good one of the placemats. So you get to see them both.

Before I get too far into the Halloween antics, let me also remark that first and foremostly ...

finally caught up . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

What a weekend! Friday afternoon we headed out to make things ready for the 5th annual Pastor & Wife Appreciation banquet and retreat.We had about 36 pastors and their wives. It was a great evening with fabulous food, worship and fellowship—not to mention a terrific speaker who spoke great words of encouragement. We had about nine couples who were able to spend the night. There was a fabulous breakfast that morning, and then we broke out into groups, for some more encouragement. I think it was a success!

But I was itching to get home, because I knew what ...

babies and sunsets . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Monday, I took a little time off and gave Joc a bit of a breather. This time I took Ezra off her hands so she could shower and do some things she wanted to do.

Ummmmm, my pleasure!

Evidently I'm just the right sleep select comfort number. Isn't he sweet??! :)

And then Wednesday (because we knew we'd not be able to go out today ... we have our ministry's annual Pastor/Wife Appreciation banquet) I took off again. (Because a five-day weekend wasn't enough.) And Todd and I hit the lake . . . again. The weather has just ...

celebrate on . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

I may have shared that I give as much time as my birthday wants to be celebrated. A week where you only work two days and have the next five free is as good a time to continue celebrating as any! I gave a whole post to the Tate Farms fun, but I'll condense the remainder of the long weekend here. Mostly. I think.

Thursday, the weather continued to be beautiful, and since a wet, cool front was moving in on Friday, our regular boat day, Todd and I decided to go ahead and get our lake action in ...

Hexagon Project Update from Curlicue Creations

This project has come a long way since my last update! I'll bet you can see what it is now. It's nearing the finish of the hexie piecing. I may have to stop and make a few more black hexagons. I'm almost out of them. It's exciting to see it coming together.

Sunset All About Angles Mini Quilt from Goer

I've been teaching All About Angles workshops since 2019. This project is actually the first quilt top that I pieced for myself in this style, way back before that time. I had selected the color palette, because these sunset colors called out to me and the pile of fabric hung out together on my shelf for quite some time before I cut into it to create this small quilt top.

Like many quilters, I've been wanting to finish up some of my WIPs. I participated in a 100 Day Project January 30 - May 10, free motion quilting for ...

ebb and flow . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

So do you ever get in a place where you've been sticking to a good blogging regiment, and it's time to blog and you think, "I just can't." Not because of some emotional duress or physical stress. It's just not there. That was me this weekend. I've been trying to post at least once a week—because I enjoy going back and reading my posts and seeing what I was doing—and any posts beyond that are just a bonus. The months (and the years) when blog post offerings are slim make me sad (in ...

Orange from Allen Quilts

I loved this orange and white Irish Chain client quilt that I had the pleasure of quilting recently. My client asked me to keep the quilting simple. I decided an orange peel design would be perfect. Sometimes less is more and simple can be stunning. … Continue reading Orange
