Did a little #metime sewing for the holiday weekend using this fun pattern by @lellaboutique mixed with some @laundrybasketquilts fabric. #fqsscrappyseptember

Took an #artquilt class with @janehquilter in Hous

Took an #artquilt class with @janehquilter in Houston last fall and I’ve FINALLY got my pieces in place. Plan to #stitchtheheckoutofit tonight. Jane, I did have to break down and use the lightbox because I messed up way too many pieces trying to peek under the way you taught us, LOL! But I truly love the process and my next project will be of my gone-but-not-forgotten Freckles.

I’ve been doing some slow stitches the past few

I’ve been doing some slow stitches the past few weeks and this has been my #quarantineproject. I’ve been itchin’ to stitch this pattern from @threadsthatbindmacon for quite some time even though embroidery isn’t my strong suit. A few more details to wrap up but it’s starting to take shape.

This symbol. #communion #lordssupper I’ve pract

This symbol. #communion #lordssupper I’ve practiced this ritual nearly every Sunday since 1973. It centers me. Keeps me grounded. It helps me look at the blackest sky, the dark storm rolling in and say “I trust that the One holding onto me will not let me go.” I trust that the God of forgiveness and resurrection is also the God of Daily bread. (And daily toilet paper. )

Today I took the bread and the wine in relative isolation but was deeply aware that God also wants to stop the greater pandemic of “corona stress”. God spent a lot of time on me, teaching me that I did not need to live in fear. Over the past 55 years he has proven himself faithful in more ways than I can count. I’m gonna end this with one of the first scriptures I learned as a child, hoping it gives comfort to anyone who needs it: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7

Just giving a little appliqué lesson to the grand dogs. At least they think the paper tastes good.
