I, of course, understand with everything you have going on in life right now. But I do miss your daily blog posts. It was delightful to read how you and Mr. E found the rest and relaxation that you needed and felt so much better because of it. Your cross hatch quilting turned out beautifully and was a fabulous choice to go along with every aspect of this project. Like you, I have really been taking a look at my fabrics and with a possible move sometime in the future, I have started to hand fabrics to charities for them to use that I know I will not. It feels incredible in doing so. May the Lord continue to wrap you in his Love and guide you with his Words. Amen.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958077183627536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-7998573384665235562018-06-20T02:27:22.300+10:002018-06-20T02:27:22.300+10:00That cross hatch quilting was perfect for the ging...That cross hatch quilting was perfect for the gingham & I love the hexagon monogram.<br /><br />Yes you really need your own time for doing your thing & music is good too.

We did that but then after buying our house and moving here. We realized there were so many other houses available for sale that we were never shown that were in our price market. Wish we had ridden around and looked on our own first. Love your new project.....Beautiful fabric and as always your stitchery is perfection.

I am looking forward to retirement at the end of this year. Time for me to slow down and smell the flowers. You have been a great inspiration to me at times when I feel down and need a breath of fresh air. I have always loved your designs and your choices of fabrics. They are fresh, simple and lovely. Thank you so much for the time and effort it takes to send encouragement and love to those of us who need it. Love and hugs back!!! Wendy (PS. If you feel the need to dispense of any early Tilda fabrics when you move, I would be more than happy to pay for shipping and price of fabric.} :) wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515783581361824932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-43963946276269678852018-06-19T02:09:35.157+10:002018-06-19T02:09:35.157+10:00What a cute idea.

The colors ...Oh I love this little pattern so much! The colors you chose are so refreshing. <br /><br />Yesterday after church the first thing my sweet husband said as we walked in the door is that home is his favorite place to be. We love staying home more than anything. I started watching my grandson full time on weekdays in January & I did fuss a little about losing so much freedom....I can't take him with me anywhere so we must stay home. But after a good self-talk about my attitude & some encouragement from the Lord, I'm so happy to 'get to' do all the things that need to be done in this season. It is hard & I am tired much of the time but I'm looking for the good things in this crazy busy season & will appreciate the quiet much more when it's past.

I have a tiny piece of genuine 1930s fabric from my Grandma’s scrapbag. I’m just starting a new quilt and propose to use that tiny piece in it. It should give me the encouragement I often need to actually finish the project. I hope you can continue to snatch some time for you both to relax during this busy time.
