Psalm 9: Part 3, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,
    Welcome, and thank you so much for stopping in! Has Spring sprung in your neck of the woods? Here in Southern New Mexico, we have had a mix of hot, cool, and perfect temperatures.  I'm finding recovery slow going, probably due to a sinus infection developing a few days after I was diagnosed with strep.  Talk about a 2 for 1!
    This week, I am happy to guest host Melva’s (from Melva Loves Scraps) Sew and Tell link-up. You will find the link at the bottom of this post.

Saturday Sparks Link Party 715 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 715!

Starting off today's party with my latest micro embroidery!

I tried to capture that feeling with this piece.


I am having way too much fun creating these tiny reflections.

"The beauty of handmade is in the imperfections."

Now, onto the party,

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 714

Shades of Grey from Night Owl Quilting



Sherry made this quilt for her granddaughter.  Grey isn't really Sherry's favorite colour to work with, but those are the fabrics her granddaughter selected so she ran with it.  I think it came together well!


Sherry selected the Tickle pantograph that added some nice movement to the top.


Cozy ivory Fireside on the back is perfect finishing touch.

Retreat Fun in Shipshewana from Luann's Loose Threads

 I just returned from the Jane Stickle Quilt retreat in Shipshewana, Indiana, last Sunday.   I wasn’t much in the mood to quilt before last week, but I am now.  It’s so great being surrounded by such talented quilters.  There were some there that I hadn’t met before, but there are some of us that have been attending this retreat for over 20 years so it’s great seeing old friends again.  I love visiting Amish country.

A Raggedy Flimsy from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's another sunny day here at the Three Cats Ranch. We've had our typical spring weather with a little bit of everything during the day. A few days ago, we even had some hail. No snow, thank goodness, although we do sometimes get snow in April. 

When I left you yesterday, I was on my way to fill the birdfeeders. Along my way, I saw a few little things going on in the garden. For one thing, I'm seeing colors on the Lavender Whisper peony. I'll admit I'm anxious to see ...

Opal-Inspired Baby Quilt Finish from The Colorful Fabricholic

Before I left to go on retreat, I was able to quilt and bind the Opal-Inspired baby quilt. I's a finish, and it's intended to be donated. But I will hold onto it and submit it for PCQ's display window in the creative arts building in October, when the opal birthstone will be the featured color theme. It will be donated afterward. 

Because of the small size, I was able to pin baste on my tabletop and quilt on my domestic machine using a serpentine stitch along the seam lines. 

The backing, from the club's stash ...
