And envelope us in their soft Quietness.
Thanks for comfort and warmth.

A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful
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.
