Thoughtful Tuesdays. To Do Tuesday.

Thoughtful Tuesdays
This post by Crystal Storms at Crystal Storms really changed the way I look at my husband.  You see, if God is our Father, then He is my husband's Father as well.  My husband is God's child, too.  So, God would be my Father-in-Law!  Whoa.....food for thought.  Please visit her post as well as the next post....food for thought.  


To Do Tuesday 
Last Week's List 
1) Even though I'm working more this week, I think I'll be able to finish the second Tumbling Blocks prototype. This one is going much better! Done!  Tada!


2) Finish crocheting five blue and yellow flowers of the Maria's Blue Crayon Spring Granny Afghan Crochet ! I wonder if adding starting to join them is too much for my hands?  We'll see...... Done!  

3) Use up the rest of the strings for the CIL blocks. Nope - I have a TON of strings cut up!  

4) Make progress on Prayer Shawl #7. This week our Cancer Care Group meets, so I'll be able to work on this one.  I usually reserve this project for this meeting night.  Done!  

5) Pray my prayer and memorize Genesis 50:20a  A friend at church recommended using Post-It notes all around the house to memorize Scripture.  I'm going to try that.  LORD knows I have enough of them!  Done!  But, I'm going to keep focusing on this verse for this week as well.

LOL!  I forgot to add this week's To Do List!  I'll be lost without it!

    1. Thank you! It helps that they are all baby quilts. However, though they're small, I'm learning so much! Next I will try the Tumbling Block with Y-Seams and see how that goes. All this in preparation to make my son a Tumbling Block Quilt. Thank you for stopping by!

  2. Your tumbling blocks quilt is gorgeous! Congrats on the finishes. Food for thought: it is often helpful to remember that all people are made in God's image. i.e. That person rubbing you the wrong way, how does God see him/her? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    1. Thank you Birthe! He loves us all! Seeing my husband as God's son and God as my father-in-law was amazing. Then, as Sharon wrote in her comment, everyone is made is God's image. Seeing God as their Father as well is such a basic belief, but, for me, a great reminder. :)

  7. Thank you for featuring me and reminding me the importance of loving our husbands well by remembering who they are to God. Love your quilt - beautiful! Great verse to memorize and continue to meditate on. I love how Joseph's words challenge me to consider God's greater plan -- both for my good and His glory!

  8. I love your tumbling blocks. That's one I haven't made yet and I just came across and easy method to try. I hope it turns out as well as yours. What makes this one a prototype? Are you going to make a bigger one?

    1. Hello Marti! Thank you for your kind comment! I wonder - what was your easy method that you found? I've been strip piecing mine. You are so right - this one is a prototype because I am going to make a bigger one for my son. He chose this pattern, so I wanted to practice on baby quilts first. Next I'll be trying to make one using Y-seams. Marsha at Bernina Sewing and Design - my local quilt shop - has offered to help me, so I have high hopes!
