I think I should call these “Weekend” Scraps. As they aren’t always being written on Friday. But Friday Scraps sounds better…And I have to play catch up for the past 2 weeks. So it will be just the highlights. In the midst of my feathers and swirls and pebbles, a critical part of the stitchContinue reading “Friday Scraps – Catch up”

Friday Scraps – from a “not much was accomplished” week
Disclaimer – I wrote this, well not exactly this, but something close last night…and then the post was deleted, never to be found. So I am writing again this beautiful Saturday morning. Last week ended and this week began with a Revival meeting at church. Bro Josiah from Nigeria came to preach the Word ofContinue reading “Friday Scraps – from a “not much was accomplished” week”
Friday Scraps – a couple days late
I realized this morning that I forgot to share my Friday Scraps yesterday. And what a week this has been. A couple years ago I thought I was ready to start looking for a house to buy. I counciled with my pastor and was encouraged to save some more money. I wasn’t as ready asContinue reading “Friday Scraps – a couple days late”
Friday Scraps
So I’m standing there at the ironing board pressing some freshly pieced poppy fabric blocks when I get a notification on my phone, it’s a forward email from my mom of new blog post she found interesting. She sends these to me from time to time and it’s great to see how different quilters tick.Continue reading “Friday Scraps”
The Quilt – Author unknown
I read this poem several years ago and have looked back on it from time to time. Recently there has been a challenge to reach out more, to not get so caught up in my daily activities that I can’t see the needs around me, much less stop to help. I was reminded again ofContinue reading “The Quilt – Author unknown”

There was no work completed this last weekend, as this quilter went to the beach. Half moon bay is one of my favorite places. The waves are high The water is clear And the sky puts on a great show A perfect day with the girlfriends!
Even Quilters have Birthdays
Yes, today is my birthday. I graduated from the 20’s and have moved on to the 30’s. I have heard that they can be the best years, so I’m kinda looking forward to them and all that is ahead. The festivities started yesterday at work with cheesecake. The mail held the first and faithful birthdayContinue reading “Even Quilters have Birthdays”

And It’s Back to Work for the Quilter
Vacation is over…at least for the next three days. It was nice while it lasted, got several quilts done, one still needs to be bound and 2 are only cut out…I shall see if I can fit them in along the way. (Photos to come) But for the next couple days I need to getContinue reading “And It’s Back to Work for the Quilter”
Bragging
I need to brag on God a minute. Let me tell you a story of what he did for me this weekend. It might me a little long…but it’s in the details that God’s grace shines through. Friday night I had a quilt on the machine that I needed off by Saturday morning for aContinue reading “Bragging”
