A tattered box arrived on the doorstep yesterday. Despite the condition of the box the contents remained intact. The box contained the U.S. Flag given after the death of my dad, who was in the U.S. Air Force in the early 1960's, some photos of my husband and me, and a grocery bag containing a … Continue reading A Discovery of

So this morning
I started journaling, wanted to share with a friend then though I'll share on my blog. Way back in twenty-twenty one of the desires of my heart, other than being a good quilter, is to grow in Intimacy with God. This desire remains deeply in my being. The readings for the Second Sunday of Ordinary … Continue reading So this morning
A Little Pick me Up
For a good long while here on A Quilters Heart my writing involved a particular spiritual gift of mine . . . that of a word of encouragement. Encouragement as a gift is something seemingly delightful, until that encouragement involves another part which is encouraging someone to pause, think about where they are, and make … Continue reading A Little Pick me Up
Word of the Year 2025
Here it is the end of the third week of Advent, which also happens to be the shortest day of the year. As I am a short woman this is highly appropriate that I share a few snippets of the year and the twenty-twenty-five word of the year. Institute for Spiritual Direction - is as … Continue reading Word of the Year 2025
Wheeeeee
When starting the Institute for Spiritual Direction in the fall of 2023 I thought I'd be writing more frequently about what we're reading and learning and doing. The lack of writing has much to do with both the desire to honor what the others in the group are sharing with me and that there is … Continue reading Wheeeeee
Writing, Reading and Pondering
One of my favorite places is in the hammock in the backyard, sometimes reading, sometimes dozing. I would have stayed out a bit longer this morning except that the temps and humidity drove me inside. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8FKB_jRMUY/ I did have quite the view though. Right now I'm reading Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology Michael … Continue reading Writing, Reading and Pondering
Rejecting Connection
Happy Easter! Christ is Risen, Alleluia. Apparently I took a blogging break during Lent. It was, as I've read here and there, something of a Lenty Lent. When the Holy Spirit prompts you to go a bit deeper you get to pick, do I go deeper or not. The Holy Spirit only needs an atom … Continue reading Rejecting Connection
Word Play
When you have a chance listen to Season 14 Episode 1 of the Abiding Together Podcast. This is their Word of the Year episode, it is beautiful. In part because of how Michelle, Heather and Sr Miriam speak of their 2023 word, and how they have lead to their 2024 word. I seriously considered carrying … Continue reading Word Play

Looking: Still Waters run Deep
"Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" is one of the taglines I've had over on TerifiCreations. I had this for a while because indeed it is. Often as quilters progress through sewing they often land in the world of quilting and stay there. I landed here oh so many years ago in part because … Continue reading Looking: Still Waters run Deep
