Philippians 1:27b – 28
OBSERVATION
After discussing “striving
together as one for the Gospel”, he tells them they can achieve this without
being frightened in any way by those
who oppose them.
APPLICATION
This reminds me
of the saying, “There is power in numbers.”
Amen!
I also recall how
my love for my sister-in-law grew tremendously as I nursed her through breast
cancer – twice.
Yup, she's my hero!
And then how she
flew from the east coast to New Mexico during her own chemotherapy treatment to
go with me to my own first chemotherapy treatment.
Now, like all
sisters,
we love each
other deeply
and
we can definitely
drive each other nuts! J
I remember
telling my kiddos, “I can complain about her, but not you!”
So contradictory,
but it made so
much sense to me!
Oh, and my
husband?
He would just
smile.
Together, my
sister-in-law and I encouraged each other
via telephone
to beat
cancer.
And we did.
That’s the
ability
to be fearless
in the face
of our enemy.
That’s unity.
PRAYER
You know how I
hate hypocrisy and “fronts”! Therefore,
this set of verses really had me struggling to make peace with and write about
because that is exactly what I felt Paul was asking the Philippians to do!

I now understand
“united front” on a deeper level – and I appreciate it.
Thank you, Abba Father!

How I Set Up My
Quilty 365 Center
First,
I must mention that I use this tutorial to
make this quilt. In short, I cut out
circles of fabric and light interfacing, sew them right sides together, cut the interfacing, turn them inside out and iron them to my
background fabric. But seriously, check out her link. :)
1) My granddaughter
helped me run my light interfacing through the Accuquilt to make a mountain of 5”
circles – which quickly turned into a little mountain! J
2) Then I spent an
afternoon cutting out a 5” strip from each “bolt” of my fabric. Using my I Accuquilt made short work of
creating the 5” circles.
3) Next, I sew the
circles onto the interfacing to the circles and pin them to the squares.
4) Finally,
I will press them and blanket stitch them on.
I’m using a mix of hand sewing and machine sewing. I had started out using embroidery floss, but
then I read that was not the best idea. That
saddens me as it looks so very pretty!
appreciated!
5) I store them all in
this pretty handmade basket.
6) At times, I follow
the mood blanket mode and pick a color that reflects my mood using this chart. At times I pick a fabric that reminds me of
that day. It’s all very loosey
goosey! J
Oh my dear readers,

So, are you sewing the circles to the interfacing and then turning them inside out to stitch to the square? I'm always interested in different appliqué methods... Thanks for linking to MCM!
ReplyDeleteYes, you phrased it perfectly. It's the only way I know how to appliqué - so far! :) Thank you for stopping by and also for hosting the linky party! :)
