Scriptural Thought for the Day

Hello all  I have a thought to share with you today.
Have you every wondered: Does God really care about the injustice and suffering that humans experience?
Well for the scriptural answer to this question please look up in your bibles
Eccl. 4 1; and Psalms 72:12-14.

If you would like to live in a world free from suffering and injustice's contact Jehovah's Witness's locally or go to www.jw.org for more information.

TAST

I have recently joined TAST on Sharon Boggin's blog www.pintangle.com
I have followed these in recent years, but decided to sign up even thought it's late in April.
This week's stitch is French knots, which is one of my favorite stitches.
So I thought I would show you one of my pieces I'm working on which I have lots of french knots on it.
This is a shot of the whole quilt top.
 Here is the block that I have finished so far, my favorite spot to put french knots is on the seams along with other stitches.

I hope you enjoy looking at my work.

Hugs
Linda

Sick

Hello everyone I haven't fell off the face of the earth, lol we have just been very sick in my household. I have had another nasty sinus cold which needed medication to get rid of.

But did manage to get some sewing done during that time, finished up another sample quilt for work.

This line of fabric came in and were all trying to figure out what it was from, a customer told me the name of the movie but alas I have forgotten.

I am really looking forward to teaching my first class on Saturday in free motion quilting. Pics will follow.

Until next time enjoy your day
Hugs Linda
