Authors Note: I am not apologizing for anything. I read a post the other day on one social media platform, then a related post on another that reminded me of my very strong take on the word Just and the tendency to judge people when we don't know where they've come from or because of … Continue reading Forty days of Prayer for Quilters Day 30: Apologizing for Who and Where I am

Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters: Layers yet One
As I write this we are in the middle of a deep arctic cold, snow, icy rain winter event. It is, according to weather sources, a once in a generation event in Texas. My Sweetie was keeping an eye on the heating system at the Priory Sunday evening and around 9 PM we agreed that … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters: Layers yet One
Forty Days of Prayers for Quilters Day 22: Look Again, from over here
We all get emails from a variety of sources. When the emails come at least daily, if not more than once there is a moment when if the headline doesn't catch our attention we tend to ignore it, even if, even when we know the content is good. Someone asked me recently why, in a … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayers for Quilters Day 22: Look Again, from over here
This Quilters Heart
https://twitter.com/Joeinblack/status/1349676748351397888 Over the last couple of months I've said, "Yes" to some "big" things that are good, and require commitment. Lord, Help me give each the commitment needed. I had a conversation with a friend, and apologized the next day for part of it. Lord, Help me use my words to honor You. I'm teaching … Continue reading This Quilters Heart
Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 18: Hope
As often happens when I get to quilting I start watching/listening to The Lord of the Rings extended versions. At one point Legolas asks Aragorn for forgiveness for despairing. There are moments when giving into despair seems the reasonable thing to do, however it means I've given into inaction, not fulfilling my greatest potential as … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 18: Hope
Dancing in the Rain
Right after I spoke with my husband, once again learning that the closing day is not yet set, I looked at our TX realtors website to learn that the house that I really liked is under contract taking backups. Oh woe is me! I pouted. Woe. Is. Me. And then I saw that the other … Continue reading Dancing in the Rain
And Cue Music
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
Move, Moving, Moved
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. Throughout the Old Testament, wells are trysting places. Abraham’s servant found a wife for Isaac by a well; … Continue reading Move, Moving, Moved
You’re Grounded
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
Happy New Year
New year happens differently for each of us, in unique ways. September always feels like the beginning of the new year because a new school year begins, and our Jewish brothers and sisters celebrate then. Late October feels like the beginning of the new year because Fall Quilt Market and new commitments that happen there, … Continue reading Happy New Year
