And envelope us in their soft Quietness.
Thanks for comfort and warmth.
Thanks for comfort and warmth.
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I'll jump right in:
1. I'm thankful for cooperative return policies. Several weeks ago, I mentioned that I had to return a range that I had purchased, and I hoped that the particular range was just a lemon and that the replacement wouldn't have the same problem. Well, unfortunately, it did. On the bright side, the store quickly picked up the second range and refunded my money. I'm putting appliance purchases on the back burner (!) for the moment.
2. I'm thankful for temples. I went one morning this week to the temple. I'm always amazed at how much insight comes in just an hour or two of reflection.
3. I'm thankful for my sister. She and her family came to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with her in-laws, and I got a chance to see her and her family on Wednesday. The last time I saw her was in January at our grandma's 100th birthday celebration. We feel lucky to have two visits in one year!
4. I'm thankful for my brother. …

Quaint Quality; All Quilts are.... Quite the perfect letter; Quilt, Quilting, Quilt-fabrics, Quilting-Bees.... I love everything Quilt, but I guess you already know that....
ReplyDeleteMy next favorite word with a Q is Quiet. Love that just as much. Quilting in Quietness is my perfect part of the day.
And you make such lovely quilts, too!
DeleteI love the quilt. Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a gift for my son and his bride when they were married almost 3 years ago. Time flies!
DeleteI have discovered that a quilt is a gift that comes with tremendous love. When I was pregnant with the oldest, I took a quilting class and made a baby quilt by hand. I can't imagine anything but love pushing a woman forward in the daunting task of making a bed-sized quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou hand-sewed the baby quilt? That is impressive! I "cheat" and use a sewing machine. :-)
DeleteNo such thing as cheating when using the sewingmachine. It's just as difficult, if not more difficult. You made a wonderful quilt and I hope your son and daughter-in-law love it still as much. I know I do!
DeleteWow! You made that? I find quilting amazing. I just cant wrap my head around it! Its so impressive to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. I'm definitely still learning, though.
DeleteThat is really a pretty quilt! I don't quilt but I do admire then from afar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a frequent quilter, but I do enjoy trying every so (or "sew") often! :-)
Deleteyow! (to me) the combination of patience and concentration that must be necessary to create something like that! ayiiee!
ReplyDeleteI've learned to stop for the day once I get tired, because otherwise I spend more time seam-ripping than sewing!
DeleteMy mom has some beautiful, intricate quilts and quilt tops that were never quilted that were done by my grandmother and my great aunt. My favorite is called, I think Grandmother's Flower Garden. Most of the fabric used was from feed sacks. Quilts are such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I think quilts are even better when they are made by loved ones.
