Saturday's Song - The Words I Would Say. Slow Stitching.

Saturday's Song:  The Words I Would Say
If I could see you all face to face, these are the words I would say!


You are going to do great things, believe in God and in yourself!  


God bless you all as you go forth as Abraham did!  
Slow Stitching
 Today I'll be working on Prayer Shawl #10.  

This one is going to an elderly, dear friend of mine who is currently feeling the adverse effect of chemotherapy.  Just the same, her spirits have been buoyed up as God has moved to allow her daughter to move back to our fair city!  

I'll also be working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden and Yo-Yo Quilt.

Silly me - I forgot to share the photos of the yarn I bought for $6 at a garage sale!
I joined our LQS's $7.50 club and needed fabric for the background.  I played it safe and went with a neutral:
beige.  I'm waiting for the first meeting to steal ideas be inspired!  :)

    1. Thank you! Yes....I'm thinking a colorful baby afghan or another shawl. I have to find patterns to see exactly what I can make with it. Great question!

  3. I have post-it notes with two of your versus that you embroidered! One is on my computer, one is in my bible a day reading. LOVE that project...even though I came here because I also loved your yo-yos. I'm going to stick around and follow your projects. LOVE them. Have a great week.

    1. Thank you for your kind comments! You know, I hand write a verse a day and post it on my Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/miaismine22/). Lately it's been chapter 11 of Hebrews. It's amazing how much that has been ministering to me! Yes, many projects few finishes....but, boy! I'm having so much fun! :) Thank you for your sweet comments!

    1. Thank you, Robin! Between the yo-yo quilt and the hexagon quilt, I'm enjoying quite a bit of hand stitching!
