Your work is beautiful! I especially love the block with Jeremiah 29:11 :)
ReplyDeleteI like sweet hugs from Alston, Sara, Ragen and Lauren too! Or maybe I'm just partial!!!! We are also looking forward to dinner Friday night. Ragen thinks we are coming to your house for a party.
ReplyDeleteI love your work, my Moma used to do so good but this talent did not make it down to me. I am a neighbor, I am an Arkansas wife and mother.
ReplyDeleteLove your post. Chili and cornbread sound yummy. Embroidery and cross stitch look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDonna,
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing this great quilting link! I am thinking I will make these blocks and make pillows out of them. I would love to learn to quilt but I just don't have the time right now. I am learning to sew, maybe that will help me to learn to quilt someday!
Sounds great Monica! I am a relatively new quilter but am excited to learn more!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I enjoyed your daybook very much.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
