OMG, have I ever been obsessed! The obsession began the moment I saw the gorgeous "scrappy homespun hearts quilt" hanging at our local quilt show a couple of weeks ago. All those colors, all those checks, all those plaids and all those stripes really spoke to me; and I literally could not rest until I started to create one of my own ... and here you have it, the beginnings of my Scrappy Homespun Hearts :)
"Obsessions" are not always a good thing; but in the "quilting arena," IMHO, they help to keep the worries of the world at bay :)
Many blessings to you and yours during this Holy Season :)
"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." (Phillippians 3:10-12)
Just stopping by to say thank you for your sweet love and support and prayers*! Sorry it's taking me so long to respond, but hopefully I will be able to catch up with everyone's beautiful blogs ASAP*!
Married to my wonderful Husband, Gene, for 35 years with one beautiful Daughter, Michelle Darlene (Micki) in Heaven. Loving her and missing her every day since she left us 3-1/2 years ago. She courageously battled Crohn's Disease for 23 long years and she continues to inspire me each and every day. Gene has been battling severe multi-level spinal stenosis for 5 years now, but he's always in good spirits in spite of it. I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer on 7/9/10 and it's been one heck of a ride ever since. We learned that it had spread to my brain in September bringing me to Stage IV; and I had the amazing "Gamma Knife" procedure, along with a surgery to install a shunt in my brain. God is sooooooo good cuz He has surrounded us with an amazing amount of love and support from sooooooo many wonderful folks. We have a little 3 pound munchkin ... a little Yorkie named Dolly Darlene; and she basically rules our little castle. I'm a gal in love with Jesus and quilting is what keeps me sane in this journey that we call "life." It is truly my passion!!!
I can't wait to see the finished quilt! It's going to be beautiful~
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool quilt. I like all the plaids, stripes and checks. Is it all homespun fabrics?
