Mending

 

Mending my favorite quilt in the whole wide world.

My grandmother made this for me....pieced and quilted by hand!

When I was first married we used this quilt for a bedspread and it has a bit of wear on the binding.

 

 It's raining today..... so we may not see

many more scenes like these.

Pattern Giveaway

My friend Randi over at i have to say is having another fabulous giveaway!! An adorable jacket pattern kit. Give her a visit and take a look at all the lovely fabrics in her etsy shop while you're there!

Check out the awesome make-up bag tutorial over at Noodleheads blog too!! I love making small projects and this one is great. Step by step instructions with pictures, how great is that! Great gifts for the holidays, which is right around the corner girls. 

We have been very packing. My mother has sold her house and she will be moving in with us for now. We are excited for this new adventure and look forward to having her with us. God does great and mighty things when we least expect it!!

I will leave you with a cute picture of "Packing Day."

Scraps

Using my scraps to make this cute little mat that I found here

on the quilting gallery.

Although you can't see it very well I've hand stitched

this one to give it a more handmade look.  

Here, I'm adding the binding. 

First Day of Fall

Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. Too bad it's so short. Among the things I love the most are: cooler weather with beautiful clear skies, watching the leaves and trees change colors, Thanksgiving, baking and cooking once again. 

I've started making pumpkin rolls early this year since I had such a great interest last year. 

I've been busy with homeschooling and taking care of my home and

making time to sew with friends this week. We truly have to MAKE time to 

spend with loved ones and friends, it doesn't just happen!!

We've been making some of the cutest little zipper pouches ever.

I loved them so much I've given them all away as soon as they were made

and have no picture to show. 

but......you can find a gorgeous picture at the "Make it Perfect" blog, along

with some wonderful 

directions with pictures. 

Sunday Sonlight

 Praise God for Sundays!! 
The day we rise early to get ready for Sunday School and Church services. A day of no work unless absolutely necessary. Visiting family and friends. Enjoying God's awesome creation. Fellowship, worship, instruction, healing, praise, and so much more when we GIVE GOD this day!! 

"And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top tothe bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."         Matthew 27:51 -53




Praise God for that access to God we were granted, through Jesus Christ!!
Jesus paid the price for our sin and through faith in Him we can enter with full assurance, knowing we have been cleansed for our iniquities. We can hold fast to God's promises, knowing he can be trusted, encouraging one another in love and good deeds. 


The reality that we have been sanctified by the blood of Jesus and declared holy before God should motivate us to draw nearer to God. As we spend more time with Him, living a life pleasing to Him, we become increasingly like Him. God changes us from the inside out when we yield to His Spirit.
