My Way Of Celebrating Birth

 


I love having baby quilts

on hand when I hear of 

a new birth.



At the moment I had none,

so I've just finished this one for

a little girl and will soon

be planning one for a little boy.



If you quilt or do any sewing,

I want to share one of my favorite

tools with you.

This pen makes a sweet blue line

that disappears the moment water hits it. 



It's wonderful for marking quilting lines

 to get everything lined up perfectly.

(I purchase them on Amazon)



I made six or seven baby quilts

last year, to give away and donated.

Baby quilts are so much fun to make.

And even more fun to give away😊



This is the front.



This is the back fabric.


Well that's my post.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.


🫖☕☕☕☕☕🫖

I wish there was a way to put

the kettle on and ask you to

sit awhile and share a pot of tea

or coffee, your choice.

God bless you all,

It Is Finished!



It Is Finished!



Here I'm talking about 
my latest quilt.


I am so glad to have 
it done . . .
I did more ripping out
and restitching on this
one than any I've ever made. 


The Back

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
But when I hear those words,
"It Is Finished!"
I remember Jesus 
and 
His death and resurrection.
How He fulfilled the purpose 
that He came to earth 
to accomplish - making full payment for our sins 
and offering freedom 
and eternal life 
to all that believe. 
💌💌💌
Oh, the Love of God.
how sweet it is!
💌💌💌
Have a blessed day,
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)

Packing Up Christmas

 




Packing up Christmas . . .

when do you do it?










I've started a new quilt, 

good Lord willing

it will be my first of 2026.




Here are a few photos 

of it in progress 😊




I'm able to use up 

a lot of my scrapes.






This is what my design

board looks like at the

moment. 




As I pack a way my Christmas

decorations there's a bit of sadness

that goes with it.




I look forward to Christmas

and hate to see it 

go so soon.





As we enter into a 

New Year

remember . . .

Trust Him 

He is ever faithful.

Trust Him

for He is the best!

Trust Him

for the heart of Jesus

Is the only place of rest.

❄❅❆⛄❆❅❄

God Bless You All

&

Happy New Year.

A Quilt For Lucy




Last Winter I started this quilt.




A birthday present

for 

my granddaughter Lucy.




Here are the finished

photos.



The lighting wasn't very

good and the colors

in the fabric don't

show up as actuate 

as they truly are 😔



This is the Back


I made it reversible.











Lucy turned 18 last week

and is starting college

tomorrow 😇

I'm so proud of her. 


Thanks for stopping by

and have a wonderful week.

I'm just getting over 

a terrible head and chest cold.

I hate it when it goes down in

my chest  . . .  but it's

finally breaking up and 

I can feel the healing 😊 

God Bless You All 

your blogging sister,
Connie :)

Sunflower Stitching


Having fun at the sewing machine.





I love making something
that is freestyle 
so I started by drawing a picture.




Then I started cutting and sewing.
It's so freeing when there are no rules
and you can just create as you go. 










After mounting this quilt

and placing it on the mantle

I decided to make some coasters

to scatter around the living room.



  
Again no rules 😁

A little bit Piggly, 
A little bit Wiggly
&
And a lot of fun.



 

Happy Sewing

&

Have A Wonderful Weekend

Dear Friends.

What Have You Been Doing?






I've been helping a friend
make a quilt for her 
great grandson.






Isn't it pretty,
He is going to love it.





I had so much fun helping her :)




Myself I've been doing Spring yard work.





And making a few more cards.

That's my post . . .
short and sweet :)

I hope you have a wonderful
week.

God bless you all!
