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
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
