Scrappy Sewing, Hand Sewing Projects, Philippians 1:1b

Scrappy Sewing

Of course, scraps are resulting from my

Drunkards Path blocks - 

is there a quilt project that 

doesn't lend itself to scraps?  :)  

So, I decided to begin a project 

that's long overdue!  

Hence, I finally began a long awaited quilt inspired by 

Dot Your i's Quilt 

by Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts!  

Yea!  I've wanted to begin one 

since I first saw it and now?  

Tada!  

I used this fabulously easy tutorial by
Kim Kesti from Think Fast 

to attach my circles with interfacing.

(According to her website, 

she has now moved.)

Mine is a bit different from
Amanda Jean's,
but I love it.
I started off hand appliqueing the "i's",
but have realized that
I have two major hand sewing projects
as well as several crocheting projects going on.

So, I decided to begin
machine stitching them on with a blanket stitch.  

I do have these four little guys

that don't seem to fit in 

with my Dia de los muertos fabric....

ya' think?  :)

Perhaps
a pillow these will be....
or an inside pocket for this tote?

Hand Sewing Projects

Here are the hand sewing projects I mentioned above.
My Grandmother's Flower Garden 

and my Yo-Yo Quilt. 

By the way, I'm excited to say 

I've added three more yo yo flowers 

for a grand total of nine!  

Yea!

Philippians 1:1b

Paul was in prison when he wrote this

letter to the Philippians - 

the members of 

the first church he founded.  

As I wrote in my Scripture Journal,

this letter is also addressed to me - 

and to you

because the entire Bible is

the inspired Word of God.

His love letter to me - 

and to you.

As part of God's people that means you.

Yup, you.

"all God's holy people"

"Not me," you say.

My sins are too great.

Nope.

Wrong.

Nothing can separate from the love of Christ Jesus.

Did you see the part 

where His Word says, 

...NOR ANYTHING IN CREATION

CAN SEPARATE US FROM 

THE LOVE OF GOD..."

NOTHING in all creation

NOTHING.

I am constantly blown away 

by His love for me.

I hope you are as well.  

Dear Friend,

this is my truth 

and, much more importantly,

His truth for you.
