Accept and Give
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Happy Easter! John 15:13 No one has greater love than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

There are so many quilterly things jumbling for attention - my own … Continue reading Signed, Teri

Next up the round pens … Continue reading I’m a Thief

I left a facebook quilt group. Shocked? I was, because quilters are in that group. I love helping quilters, and will do so as much as I can. I've been online as a quilter since rec.crafts.textiles.quilting days wanting, needing to be part of a group of other quilters. Quilters, for the most part are kind, sharing, … Continue reading Community

Flexibility is a great virtue. My inboxes are a mix of faith reflections, pop psych, business, quilt shop newsletters and other quilt related stuff. Not to mention friends who long to catch up. *Oh bother! I have a letter to write to a couple of friends - grabs pen - see you later.* Okay I'm … Continue reading Like a Reed
