Today I made a promise to myself that I am going to make at least one quilt for missions each day, starting tomorrow which is February first. I have decided to make as many as I can as whole cloth quilts to save time and thereby get more quilts made. After I make the one [...]
We were having such nice, warm weather for January and then yesterday when I went outside it was COLD. Still cold today and the forecast for the next few days is still chilly but at least in the mid fifties.
Was raining when I went to bed at two this morning and I think it rained all night. It continued to rain until early afternoon and then it was a drizzle the rest of the day. My yard had several pools of water which always happens when we have a really heavy rain.

I hope that the rest of the week will be as great as today. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the temperature was in the high sixties. An entire week of days like today would be absolutely perfect. According to the weather forecast, it will be in the sixties until Friday when it will [...]
I liken my life’s journey to that of creating a patchwork quilt. Carefully and lovingly, I choose the fabric of my being. As I gather the pieces, I shall sort them and put each in its proper place. None resembling that of another, yet common enough to become a whole.
Only with the finest threads, my [...]
The way time flies I will be eighty years old before I have gotten used to the idea of being seventy-one. Maybe if I would get busy doing all the quilting that I need to do then time would not seem to go by so fast. At least I would have something to show for [...]
