It's a porch morning this morning. Meaning I got to sit on the porch with an insulated cup of water this morning. It's overcast this morning, and the sky is kind of gray, meaning that the sunrise is spectacular somewhere other than the viewing area from the front porch. While out there though I prayed … Continue reading Memory, Quilting and Prayer

Happy Feast Day
Feast of Saintts Philip and James, Apostles I rather enjoy waking up early in the morning to have quiet time before beginning the day. This time generally includes some silent prayer, journaling, reading the scripture of the day, and finding the earworm of the day. The earworm of the day is often shared with a … Continue reading Happy Feast Day
Frost Yourself
Thursday evening I baked cupcakes for my spiritual direction formation class. We have made it a point, for whoever is available to have dinner together before the weekend begins. It's a time of continued fellowship and it's always good to have a meal together. This recipe from I am Baker showed up somewhere and upon … Continue reading Frost Yourself
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
Blessed are they who Mourn
I took a trip to Maine to visit family and friends a few weeks ago. Surprisingly there were few photos taken. I did take a selfie at the Desert of Maine. While I grew up less than an hour from there it was my first visit and one I'd love to repeat, for the mini-golf … Continue reading Blessed are they who Mourn
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
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
Coffee with God June 2023
While looking for something else I realized what's not quite right in the sewing room. While pulling blocks that I need to piece and bring with me to quilt on this trip I realized I don't have a cutting table where I can keep the mat and cutter. I have a ginormous pressing surface that … Continue reading Coffee with God June 2023
