Saturday's Song. Slow Stitching Sunday.

Saturday's Song.
Life Happens.  Believe me, I get it.  Been there.  Done that more times than I can count.  

Keep walking in your faith!

Slow Stitching Sunday
I spent all morning downloading my patterns and materials lists and instructions from Craftsy.  Now, I'll be onto sewing after I post this and visit a few party guests as well as my hostesses!  

My sewing plan for today is to connect these final flowers to finish the next row of my GFG.  
Here is the progress I've made on my "Prayer Afghan).  The recipient lost her husband to brain cancer three years ago.  She is now fighting breast cancer.  She has a lot to live for:  three daughters under the age of 12 and a loving supportive family.  

Sunday Stats
It's time for linking up to the Stash Report at Quilt, Paint, Create!  My goal is to clean out 100 yards of fabric and 300 ounces of yarn.  I believe this is achievable as I have several afghans which are almost finished.  
fabric usage - 3.45/100 yards 96.55 yards to go!  
yarn usage - 0/100 ounces

    It's a beautiful afghan. The recipient sure has had more than her fair share of challenges. Good luck with your goals!

    I'll pray for your friend too. It's so hard to understand why this could happen to a family but I've seen it happen before several times.

    Good luck with your goals. Sounds like you want to use as much of your stash as I do.

    Sounds like you're off to a busy New Year. How precious a friend you are for the lady that needs showering with Love. I can imagine she will love the shawl and your flowers sewing together are so pretty. I need to get back to sewing, but my daughter gave me a Cricut for Christmas so I now have new crafting adventures. Things to keep busy. Thanks for visiting Sunday Scripture Blessings and sharing. :)

      Thank you for sharing! I recently heard that the Cricut can be used for fabric as well? Scrapbooking is a great way to spend our time - so reflective and healing. God is good to place people and needs on our hearts, isn't He? Have fun in your new adventures!

    Oh that verse from Corinthians is so encouraging. They went through so much more than I ever did.

      I love how this verse acknowledges the pain we feel, yet responds with strength in each phrase. WE ARE NOT DESTROYED. Hugs to you, my dear!

    Great start to your fabric usage. The prayer afghan is a wonderful idea.

      Thank you, Susan! I'm hoping that, as I keep up with the blocks, my fabric usage will explode into a used up stash! Yes, the recipient of this afghan needs a covering of love....
