Who, O God, is like you?  Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.  You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.  _Psalm 71:19-21

God, who comforts the downcase, comforted us.  -2 Corinthians 7:6

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.  _Numbers 6:24-26

Quilts = Comfort -PART 1

Quilts, when the word pops into my head I think of comfort.  Childhood memories include my mother covering me with a very special grandmother's flower garden quilt when I was sick on the couch.  So also, when I think of my Father in Heaven, Lord Jesus I also think of comfort. 

For this is what the LORD syas:  "As a moth comforts her child, so will I cmfort you." -Isaiah 66:12-13

On my bed I rember you, [O God;] I think of you through the watches of the night.  Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.  My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.  -Psalm 63:6-8

Come near to God and he will come near to you. -James 4:8

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.  -Matthew 5:4

The LORD said:  "I will never leave you nor forwake you." -Joshua 1:5

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compasssion and the God of all comfort, who comfots us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. -2 Corinthians 1:3-4

[God] is not far from each one of us.  -Acts 17:27

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. -Psalm 55:22

[The LORD] tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his hear; he gentl leads those that have young. -Isaiah 40:11

Jesus said, "Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." -John 16:22

Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me -Psalm 86:17

I wil priase you, O LORD, Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. -Isaiah 12:1

Praise God, have a blessed Lord's Day, Hugs Michelle

Card Creations

Pink Saturday-I'm linking up with Beverly today, stop over and see all the pretty pinks. http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

I have this new Die and it cuts out this cool shape, so you'll see several pics with how you can view the card.  I  also used this really adorable embossing folder, so much fun making these up.

My good friend became a grandma for the 5th time and this time it was a girl, so I made her this car up.

Then I had some fund playing with the Dress form Die cut and a butterfly die.

I have one last card to show you today, I've only made one version up, but I can see so many possibilities with various flower stamps.

Have a wonderfuly day and week.  I will be at a quilt show all day on Saturday, so I will have lots of photos to share coming up, one of our guilds is having great show and it is always so breath taking to see so much beauty and creativity.  Hugs, Michelle

Antique Pinwheel Quilt

Vintage Pinwheel blocks from e-bay puchased several years ago, I finally got around to sewing them together.  I quilted traditional feathers and used a pretty kaffe fasset background floral print.  I just love these old prints, some of them are from feed sacks and the entire blocks were hand sewn together.  It was truly a time where people used scraps from whatever was on hand.  I just don't have time in m life right now to piece anything like this that would take somuch time, so I really appreciate the work some wonderful lady from the past did.

Some day I will take time to get bindings on all the quilts I finished, hopefully this winter.  Happy stitching, have a wonderful week.  Hugs, Michelle

He is Risen!

Happy Resurrection Day.  Praise God for his wonderful gift.  I was blessed with some beautiful blooms this spring, just enough for some spring portraits.

"For God so love the world he gave His only begotten son, whosoever believieth in Him shall have everlasting life"...John 3:16

Thank you heavenly Father, thank you Jesus, thank you Holy ghost!

I love you...come quickly Lord Jesus!

In His name, Michelle
