My Life in Pictures

Seeing Myself . .... without AM makeup session!  ...
just as I make it to my desk, empty and rearrange my purse items.   This may well be the essence of my life in a single picture!   

My cup of coffee, An entry badge, cheese and turkey for breakfast sandwich, I've taken my diabetes, blood pressure and colesterol meds.  The cream in the tube is in case I itch.  As I browse my own blog, there's my SCRIPTURE MEMORY pack next to my thimble, pincussion, and my ongoing project of the 2" cathedral window.  The finished 4 blocks sewn together equal a  14" square!  
There were 232 pictures on my aging Sony digital W150 Cybershot.  I'm downloading it.   
I've checked my OESC e-mail, and facebook, In a few I'll check hotmail, yahoo, y-groups:  


I've checked my morning sugar on my accu-check meter. What else.... OH yea..... go put on the Makeup!!!

Author Unknown... probably a seamstress or Quilter....

My life is but a weaving  . . . . .

 Between my Lord and me,
I cannot choose the colors........ He weaveth steadily ....

Ofttimes He weaveth sorrow . . .


And I, in foolish pride,
Forget....  He seeth the upper
and the underside.

Not till the loom   is silent,



and the shuttles cease to fly..... Shall God unroll the canvas 

 and reveal the reasons Why.

The dark threads . . . . 

  are needful.... in the skillful weavers hand...........

Along with the threads of gold and silver and blue, and yellow, and green.....

....   There is a reason and a path
                     In the Pattern He has planned for me!!!

I awaken to a beautiful world on today....

I'm sounding poetic...   I'm happy.   I am in the midst of a subtle change of seasons.  Quilt excited (a happy typo.... play on words!)

u'know.... this leaf pattern is still one that I've never made....  but will do!

Tah - - Dah ! ! !

Finished.... well,,, I'll add the binding and ship it off to my Florida grandma 4 her one yr old precious lady-bug!!!

ASK ME.... what have I been up to...??? A Bug's Life???

I'll tell you in pictures!!

Then Blog-World....

A situation came up,,,, my daughter searched all links on Google for her name.... it showed up on one of my blogs!   Thus,  TOO MUCH INFORMATION ....


Lastly... I guess I wanted to make a quilt in a day??   More like I wanted some sense of accomplishment... so I started a LADYBUG Quilt for a one-year old Florida girl!

I Have To Fuss a'bit

Ok, so here goes.   Trying to motivate myself, I took a Jan-2009 Obama quilt out.  It only needs a backing in order to have Buddy Bill long-arm quilt it.   I pulled my quilt frame.. for this gigantic quilt.  Took beautiful backyard pictures.... welll they were ok.   Then....    Here goes...  I'm mad at myself...

It rained the rest of the day... so my quilt stand STOOD overnight in the elements!    WHY OR WHY...???  can't I DO what needs to be done... when it needs to be done.... WHETHER I like it or not???

By the way.... I refolded the Obama quilt.. and it sits again.

KIRK...KREATING A KEEPSAKE

thought I might go overboard on the KKK issue today...;)))

The Work of my Hands...

LOOKING BACK >>>

I made this log-cabin antique (mid 1960's) quilt from a stack of blocks given to me by Ms Merlene Amey!  I took the photo November 2008: it's completely finished with  binding and on the guest bedroom bed!

I luv the Lord.... and I love quiltin.....

So many parallels to the process of stitch by stitch, tuff pulling the needle thru several layers of folded fabric.... the many folds in life........

Good Morning Friends & Enemies! QUILTING DISCONTENTEDLY>>>> ?? !!

NO... not really.  I've lived long enuf that I've not made anybody mad in years....    Just a love shout-out to my quilting buddies that emailed comments about my blogging.   So nice to hear from you LB.   

Picture above is my trip around the world.  That partially explains my short absence -- had another Jeep wreck....    I have this maybe SANCTIFIED discontent....desires...  A raisin yet in the sun???

Happy, blessed and quilting -- daily.  but a quiet unsettling, maybe future planning for a reasonable degree of security?  Yep...

It's identical to the quilting process, looking back and forward... putting the pieces together.  When they are mixed wrongly.... I see the beauty nevertheless!
