Doing Service




Mick has been faithfully praying that we as a family could have service opportunities come our way and in the last 3 weeks they have come in ways we never thought. Cleaning, Fixing, and just being kind to others. Here is one example where we were all part of the service with an additional person Keating. Oh, I just realized two services in one night that is awesome! Mick was the CEO of this project, the fixing one.

The story of my quilting



Its been almost 10 years since I started sewing. The first 3 years I was a machine pumping out a mass amount of quilts but in the last 7 I fell off the earth and have forgotten how to use my sewing machine, not really but I have not produced a pieced quilt in years. I was inspired by a friend of mine by her having a baby so this is the end product. I think its pretty good since there are techniques I have never tried before and like I said its the first in seven years. I have forgotten how to quilt. Remember the scripture about the talents it is true don't bury your talents or they will be taken. It was a struggle to get through this quilt but made me realize that I can be a better sewer if I practice and use my talents. Don't look too close I had many flaws but hoping to get much better as time goes by.
