Saturday's Song
Today I'll be sharing a song in honor of my Dad. He tells me to live life fully and make memories because "It's Later Than I Think"!
Just as our earthly fathers have hopes and dreams for us, how much more our heavenly Father?
We can trust Him.
We really can.
Slow Stitching
Today I finished crocheting the blue flowers for my Spring Granny Afghan!
Here's what I have so far!
Stash Report
Several years ago, one of my grandchildren became very ill and we almost lost him. El Paso Children's Hospital was instrumental in saving his life as well as improving his quality of life since then. He is now a happy, active little boy! Praise God!
I have always wanted to make baby quilts for the hospital as a thank you. When My grandson went there by ambulance, there was not time to pace a bag, much less a comforting quilt/afghan. My daughter said it would be perfect to have a "non-hospital issued" quilt that would provide warmth and a touch of home.
When one of my friends gave me this amazing book, I knew I was on my way!
So, I had the patterns for the quilt, but kept forgetting to buy fabric. Baby fabric is not really a part of my stash....sigh.....
My daughter to the rescue! She texted me a picture of color coordinated baby flannel and wondered if I could use it. Could I ever! It was 14 yards of fabric!
I also picked up 1/2 yard of what should be the last fabric I'll be purchasing for my yo-yo quilt - famous last words!

A comfort quilt is so nice to have in an emergency. We made a bunch of simple flannel quilts to donate to the NICU that one of my grandbabies had been in as a newborn. Good luck with your comfort sewing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouragement! How is your grandbaby now? Take good care!
DeleteCute flannel, and fairly gender neutral. Look forward to seeing the quilts.
ReplyDeleteI finally finished one and will be sharing on Tuesday! The second one is cut out and ready to be sewn together! The book makes is amazingly simple!
DeleteLive life fully and make memories. What a wise man, your father. Your dad is so correct. Had no clue how quick from 50 to living in the 70's really is. Thanks for sharing at Sunday Scripture Blessings. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletePeabea from Peabea Scriptures.
Yes, my dad is wise! I'm finding time seems to be going so fast as I age! Life and time are so precious!
DeleteI can't wait to see your progress!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic calling. I have always wanted to make things for the babies in the hospital!
Most especially now, with Axel in and out of the hospital <3
Maybe someday I can find the time to follow your example!! xox!
Hi Amy! I've been following Axel's progress! You have your hands full right now, that's for sure! It's great to hear from you! Take good care!
DeleteJer. 29, 11 is one of my favorite verses.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting with the new quilt book. Great fabric and flannel are so soft and delicious. Perfect for rugs for the sick children. In the quilt club I'm in, we sew quilts for children and babies at our local hospital. It's nice to sew quilts for the kids. Good luck! :-)
I also love Jer 29:11! You certainly get quite a bit done - all the projects on your blog as well as quilts for the kiddos in your local hospital! God bless you for that! Take good care!
DeleteJeremiah 29:11 is my favorite Bible verse for all times. I have that quilt baby book, too. I'll have to look it back up again.
ReplyDeleteOh most definitely, Nancy! The instructions are clear, the blocks are easy to put together and the results are amazing! I hope you find a minute or two to peruse it!
