https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=witKT8Y6Da8 I listened to this song the other day and thought I'd share it here with you. I love Matt's voice, I love that he shares this gift of singing with the world, expressing his love for and relationship with the Lord. I'm teaching quilting locally on Saturday, we're going to be making a color … Continue reading This is Love

A song in the head is worth
Waking up with a song in my head is something of a frequent occurrence that often leads to a faith in quilting connection. It's been a little while since this is happened and the connection is a little elusive. I woke up with the refrain of the song: "We Exalt Your Name" by Kari Jobe … Continue reading A song in the head is worth
Reminders
One of my favorite priests has a saying, "we don't need new teachings, we need reminders." On TerifiCreations I have a Tutorials and Helpful Hints page, these are reminders for me and others for when things are going kaflooie! Reminders are things we've learned, or that others have learned that work, most of the time. … Continue reading Reminders
Untangling
Happy Wednesday! It is good to be here in 2018. It's a good time to be a quilter. It's a good time to be discovering something so hang with me here... So often we look in the mirror as if through a glass darkly, seeing not what God has created but what we have created … Continue reading Untangling
I don't know if you know this about me but I can be a bit snarky. Shocking, right?! Not really when considering that I grew up in New England and it's second nature. Depending on circumstances I do try to be careful as not everyone can see my face (the Big tell-all), appreciates, or gets … Continue reading
And all before coffee
It's scary to step into a room of strangers and say, “Here I am, with all my flaws and fears! Please like me!” Much easier to stay home under a quilt and read, I think. But she summoned her courage and she conquered her fears, and we were all better for it. She taught us how … Continue reading And all before coffee
Change my Heart o God
I've been working on an impractical color wheel using thread I have on hand, I have a lot of thread, this is a hazard of being a quilter for a long time. Check out my progress over on instagram. This is a class I'll be teaching in January at a local to me quilt shop. … Continue reading Change my Heart o God
And then I stopped, and said, “Thank You!”
Have you ever wanted to thank God for something happening that was kind of rough to deal with in the moment, but deep down you know is the right thing? The title had nothing to do with with that, however it fits and I'm keeping it. Wednesday, on my way into the City, I started … Continue reading And then I stopped, and said, “Thank You!”
This Little Light of Mine
A reading from the Gospel of Matthew “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot … Continue reading This Little Light of Mine
Of Roller Coasters & Dreams
I secretly like roller coasters. They totally freak me out though. It's the Anticipation of What Might Happen that gets me. The slow clicking movement to the top and that first drop -aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Seriously. Anticipation does more to mess with my head than anything else. I can think through the Worst Case Scenario like nobody's … Continue reading Of Roller Coasters & Dreams
