What's on your Needles?

I'm almost done, this has been such a no brainer, fun project.  This Gossamer Shawl, so light and delicate and lacy and EASY...I'm hoping to wear it with a "little black dress".  I love the little tinsel like silver threads running thru the light blue mohair.  So tell me, what's on your needles?  I'll post a finished photo soon.
Here's the pattern in case any one is interested.
Gossamer Shawl, size 17 needles, cast on 35 stitches, work in st st until scarf is desired length and bind off!  It's that easy.

Letter from Jesus

Dear Friend: How are you? I just had to send a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk with Me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you-and I waited. You never came. Oh yes, it hurt me -but I still love you because I am your friend. I saw you fall asleep last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your face and pillow. Again, I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awakened late and rushed off to work without ever thinking of Me, and I still love you. My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad=so all alone. It makes My heart asche because I understand. My friends let Me down too and hurt Me many times, but I love you. Oh, if you would only listen to Me! I LOVE YOU! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it in the colors of flowers. I shout it to you in the mojuntain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or need that you will ever have. Oh, if you only knew how much I want to walk and talk with you. We could spend an eternity together in heaven. I know how hard it is on this earth. I really know! And I want to help you. I want you to know my father. he wants to help you too. My father is the way, you know. Just call Me-ask Me-talk with Me! Oh, please don't forget Me. I have so much to share with you! All right, I won't bother you any further. You are free to choose or reject Me. It is your decision. I have chosen you and because of this I will wait-because I LOVE YOU! Your Friend, Jesus

This is one of the many poems and sayings I collect...I don't remember where this one came from, so I can't give credit to anyone, other than of course our Lord! Blessings to all who visit.

Pink Saturday-About Me...my passions

Welcome to pink saturday, please be sure to stop by Beverly's our lovely hostess at "how sweet the sound" (I apologize for some reason I'm having problems copying and pasting the coding today-won't work). Today's post is about me, in a way. I've made these bookplates up and when I got to thinking about it they represent several things that I love and am passionate about. I have a huge rubber stamping collection and am an avid card maker...I've been doing this for years and years, my favorite colors are pink and yellow and I love color and design, I also used yarn on each one of these and am a knitter for even more years, and the photos are from my garden this year, I love flowers, my parents had a greenhouse for 45 years and I was a photographer for many years, then I used a piece of scrap fabric and sewed the photos on, hence my quilting love....so you can gather from all of this that I love to shop, right...but above all of this I hope my love for Jesus shows, each one has a scripture verse stamped on the back for inspiration and encouragement. So I guess these little bookmarks say more about me that one might guess at first glimpse, I love creating weather making cards, knitting a scarf, composing photographs, or making a quilt. Thank you for stopping by today and I hope each one of you has a wonderful day.

Quilts quilted for clients

This diamond quilt was done by a very talented teenager, yet teenager and the piecing was so precise you would believe it, I quilted the ginko leaf panto. The 2 panda pink and blue quilts were done by her mother for a set of twins and I quilted a bamboo panto. Should have cropped these full length photos up, but short on time and wanted to get the post up. Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by.

Convergence Quilt for Cllient

The photos don't do this justice, it was hard to photograph, client was coming to pick up and I was running late. It is a very large king size, I pulled the color of thread out of the mix and her first reaction was no I don't think so, but then when we matched it up to the quilt it was perfect, if you closely at the close up pics you can see I quilted a sun and butterfly design panto (by KD of Sweet Dreams). I've always wanted to do one of these but I guess I'll have to add it to my bucket list.

Today's Post is dedicated to my friend KarenDiane

Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who HOPE in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.

Praise God!

Fall Quilt with KF Fabric

This was a "quilt in a day", I wanted a "fall" quilt and am short on time, so I went with the never fail strip quilt, I had fun selecting the fabrics the prints and colors were just the fall feeling I was going for. I also, tried something different for the backing for me with running another fabric strip down, I like it. The binding pulls it all together. I used an Anne Bright quilting design and Kaffe Fassett fabrics and an orange thread for quilting. Enjoy the season, thanks for stopping by.
