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.

Like a Reed
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
Unraveling my Heart
Over the last few days I've enjoyed, and deeply benefited from an enchanting romp with Creative Brain. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfmp7h9hrw1/?taken-by=terilucas Sitting at the machine and stitching is leading to thoughts of so many other projects.

Examen-ing

My Sweetie and I have been reading from Henri Nouwen before dinner, with each reading there is a sip of cool water, or a really good wine. Either way you go. Over the last few weeks the idea of practicing well … Continue reading Lent
I didn’t intend to blog today
But the words are right there so here goes: "But maybe you're thirsty" he said. Whoa.

The Quiet

This day seemingly disregards our relationship with God and yet taking time to nurture our relationships with others does nurture our relationship with God.

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
