A Faith & Quilting Blog
Imagine if you well a quilt shop machine sales floor, having a conversation with both a coworker and another customer. The discussion vibrant when, as if on cue over the sound system we hear, "Let it go, Let it goooooooooooooooo". This morning I'm in my sewing studio packing up to move. This space was at … Continue reading And Cue Music
My heart is in Texas. I miss my heart, my Sweetie. While we are, at this moment, far apart the consolation of our togetherness in the Sacrament of Matrimony gives me great comfort.

I'm learning something right now that is wildly hard. Obedience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6X71sXagUY I will move forward in obedience. This is the line from the song rattling around my head for the last few days. You know how someone half sings, half hums without quite having the words. Watching various social media channels over the last week, … Continue reading Taking a Step in Obedience
Moved Today's readings include the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. In reading Bishop Robert Barron's Lenten reflection on the Gospel I was moved by the insights: Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman.

Then I thought I'd like to start out every single story with, … Continue reading In Answer to Prayer
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, all your mind and all your strength. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your path.
They that wait upon the Lord; will renew their strength. They shall mount up with wing like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Teach me Lord to wait. Have a great day. God bless, Teri
If, however, the King makes no sign of listening or of seeing us, there is no need to stand inert, like a dolt, which the soul would resemble if it continued inactive. In this case its dryness would greatly increase, and the imagination would be made more restless than before by its very effort to … Continue reading You’re Grounded
Have you ever lost something in your sewing room/studio when you'd just put it down? I designed a paper pieced quilt that needs to be shipped soon. After selecting fabrics, I cut the pattern apart, (without making a master) and started piecing the flying geese. The attempt at keeping the in order was thwarted by … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 16
