Quilting...Sewing Lessons


I have been giving sewing lessons once a week to a sweet friend of mine.
Beloved covers me the dishes and kitchen chore, tends the children and supports her and I.
She has been providing the supper, so I am covered for the cooking.
Then I commence to teaching her some skills of the needle, fabric and pattern.

We made it to this point in her project tonight. Tomorrow night we will do minding on two intersections, tie it and do a satin binding. She will have her quilt for her grandson for Christmas It is 10:20 and we just finished up. I am tired!
I must start sewing my gifts in earnest tomorrow!

We work well together. Funny it was she who once mentored young women, now I am sharing my skill sets with her. We enjoy our fellowship. We are not to far off in age.

It has been her heart to learn to sew to make her grandson a quilt. He is now seven months. She looked into lessons at a quilting store and was startled at the costs. she then remembered me. We have had a nice time catching up with each other it had been a couple of years.
She is a delight.
She came with homemade chicken soup and bread for my family and cookies too.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'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"
