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
Sheep and Quilting and a Good Book Quote
When I say I nearly spit eggs on my keyboard when I read, As we were walking down the road, I saw a cloud of white moving off to the side and wondered aloud what it could be. As we got closer, the cloud came into focus, and soon I could see that it was … Continue reading Sheep and Quilting and a Good Book Quote
Connection
Perhaps it is good to start this post with a link to Miriam Ezagui on Instagram. Miriam is an Orthodox Jew who takes the time to explain the beauty of her faith, religion and religious practice. As a Catholic I appreciate her faith, and religious practice deeply and appreciate it for so many reasons. To … Continue reading Connection
Savor the Graces
Luke 17: 11-19 "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well." Jesus said this to me as I knelt before Him. Thanking him. Praising Him for healing me of leprosy. Thank you Jesus for making me well. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for restoring me to my family. I have … Continue reading Savor the Graces
Building Callouses
My Sweetie's Blond As long as I've known my Sweetie he's played the guitar. Not so much in recent years between life and the moves. I've longed to learn to play and thought, "oh one day I'll do it." When he asked what I wanted to do over the weekend -this was it. We started … Continue reading Building Callouses
