Gone Quilting!

The 'Loose Tensions' quilt group will be at Susan's Calico Creations today. We scheduled our own little quilt retreat at Susan's store. We will each be doing our own version of the Turning Twenty quilt pattern. In my case, I will be Turning Thirty, as I want to make it much bigger, to fit a queen size bed and have it drop low on both sides and the end of the bed. Here are the colors I chose for my quilt. The black fabric at the far right end of the photo, folded up, will be my border fabric....and here are my 'already turned and pinned' block combinations, stacked up, and all ready to sew!
Check back later for retreat photos!


Be blessed!!!!

It's raining again, which means Spring is on it's way!

Showers of Blessings

Each day there are showers of blessings
Sent from the Father above--
For God is a great, lavish giver
And there is no end to His love--

His grace is more than sufficient,
His mercy is boundless and deep--
And His infinite blessings are countless
And all this we're given to keep--

If we but seek God and find Him,
And ask for a bounteous measure--
Of this wholly immeasurable offering
From God's inexhaustible treasure--

For no matter how big man's dreams are,
God's blessings are infinitely more--
For always God's giving is greater
Than what man is aking for.
(From 'Showers of Blessings' by Helen Steiner Rice)

Be blessed,

Lessons In Laundry

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean', she said. 'She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7:1-5
