I'm afraid I've been rather quiet of late and that's due to a health setback with my heart and those constant migraines (both related it seems) so I'm just popping in to let you know that I'm fine, just very tired and needing to do things slowly.
One of the things that settles me during these need-to-go-slow times is hand quilting so the other day I pulled out a UFO I'd begun a couple of years ago using some sweet pink and green embroideries I'd designed back in 2016...
As the front of what will become a cushion was already completed I only needed to baste some cotton quilt wadding behind it and decide what thread to use for the hand quilting.
It was so relaxing to sit and let my needle work it's way up and down through the fabric for an afternoon...
I wish there were more UFOs in my cupboard to hand quilt though. Do you ever have a hankering just to do the same thing over and over for a season? My hankering right now is to hand quilt so I'll have a good look through my many completed stitcheries tomorrow and perhaps be inspired to turn a few more into projects. Cushions will probably appear because I'm in need of a few new ones, but I'd also like to make some runners for our side tables in the living room.
Whilst I'm stepping back and resting up know that you're in my prayers for I'm sure many of you have your own challenges to walk through. How easy it is to pray throughout the day as we go about our routines, assured that even though we may not know a name or a particular circumstance, God knows, and when I pray for my dear blog readers there is confidence that He hears and acts to be your blessing, your provider, your help in times of trouble.
And He is also there to celebrate with you, so if you have high times right now I pray the Father shows His delight to you as well.
I'll leave you with some photos of the flowers around and inside the house at the moment; beautiful God-crafted blooms of colour which bring me immense joy...
Loving hugs,
