Mission Controll

We have lift off Husten, Little Dove has a desire for a quilt that has astronauts and space shuttles on it (her birthday is soon) . sooooo I was able to use all the supplies on hand and created a 101"x45" quilt for her. I got the space fabric for 80% off a while back and the backing is just yummy. It is a cotton with sphiers on it. I recently ( 4 months ago) bought my MIL Bernina 2000 dce Surger when she got a new one. I was able to make good use of it and sewed the layers altogether. I am making a very simple quilt. The kids are so occupied they have not even been in here to see what I'm up too. How wonderful it is to created again.
I have been driving to the city and doing so many chores getting the house back together too.

Story for you.
When I got the fabric I was making shorts for Dash Hawk. He requested the fabric for himself. Well I cut out the end of the run for his shorts pattern and trimmed the edge design for the end of little doves quilt and I was able to do both! the batting was acquired for a $1 for a $8? bag.
My sister also gave me 88 spools of Sulky thread for the embroidery machine( Huskavarna #1+)! When I learn to use it I will have just about every color I could ever need or desire.

SEW>>>>>>I sew on.....Smile and enjoy the use of my skills with new (to me) tools. I am blessed !

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
