Quilt-isms

What takes 10 minutes to quilt will take 4 hours to rip. -Suzi Buggeln

There is NO shortcuts to anything worth quilting.

Matilda operates best on a steady diet of the more expensive threads...lucky me.

It isn't until I am ALL done piecing a quilt top, admiring my work that I discover that I flipped two pieces around IN THE CENTER OF THE QUILT... "got dandruff, some of it itches!" It is enough to make a lady want to swear...almost!

I saw a billboard while driving today that was advertising "Quilting by the Bay" and I thought of you :) wouldn't that be nice? To quilt oceanside?? Your quilts are incredible by the way. That american flag one was my favorite!

Books and Author You Seriously NEED to Read!!

Angela Thomas: When Wallflowers Dance: Becoming a Woman of Righteous Confidence
I am so a wall-flower! (*****)
God: Grace for the Moment Daily Bible: Spend 365 Days reading the Bible with Max Lucado
I had to replace my Bible...I discovered about a week ago that I was missing part of II Thessalonians and Philemon. The binding in my Bible that I took to college and I loved...with all the notes in the margins, dates of reading and profoundness tell my story along with God's story fell apart along time ago, but somewhere I lost part of the book...so it was time. I decided that I wanted to read through in a year. I love Max Lucados commentary each day. (*****)
