Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30

I'm back and quilting up a storm


Sometimes life brings wonderful things and sometimes it brings challenges that just may take your breathe away. Life has been just this crazy in my world. I am sorry I have been away so long but I am just now at a place where I can come back to blogland. One of the best things happening in my away time is grandchild number five was born. He is a really good baby, sleeps well and all the rest. He had to go to the NICU during his first week of life but he is good now. My favorite youngest daughter is settling nicely into married life. Another lovely part of life. The challenges are significant and are not mine alone.

 Moving on to more wonderful things, quilty things. I have pieced five quilt tops and am in the process of quilting them. Some will be hand quilted and some free motion quilted. I love doing both. Do you have a favorite way of  quilting? I know many send them out to be quilted and that's great but for me it feels like I am sort of cheating. That's just one of my oddities.

A friend posted on fb that there are only eight more Fridays till Christmas. So to help with the Christmas decorations I am giving away this little felt Ornament kit. So to get in on a chance for this just be a follower.

So glad to be back!
      Scrappily,

    Congrats on the new grandbaby! In the midst of chaos comes a delightful blessing. I blog when I can and don't worry about the times that life has to come first. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

      Thanks so much for the encouragement! I don't like adding to the chaos by feeling guilty for not blogging. Good luck on the give away.

    Only eight more Fridays? That makes it sound super close and I have barely started to sew. I follow via email.
