Perseverance: continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition Merriam Webster
To me, for today, perseverance is the focus
of this verse. I know that despite the hindrances, I will persevere as I
learn to once again lean on the precious arms of my Savior, Jesus
Christ.
A Learning Thing
After measuring the $7.50 quilt blocks, I added
compensating strips and put the blocks together. To me it looked like a
mess and I was ready to throw it out, but I decided to keep it. I
realized pressing was my error, so I studied and learned. I've decided to
call this quilt "Pressing Matters".
In order to practice this new to me skill, I've joined my local
quilt shop's (Be Sew Creative) quilt
along, "Qube Crush", which highlights Accuquilt's cube. I'm
following it on their Instagram page. By
using my Accuquilt to ensure accurate cutting, I'm able to focus on practicing
pressing guidelines and my blocks are coming out very accurate! I'm
hoping to share those blocks on Wednesday!

At first I struggled to get into this book. By the time the last page was turned, I was sad and hoping for a sequel. I'll miss reading more about Loveday. Awesome read.

ReplyDeleteI like your books about books! I listened The Lost for Words Bookshop on audio, and enjoyed it. The book by Susan Orleans is on my TBR list!
ReplyDeletePressing Matters looks great! It's amazing how small things, such as how you press seams can make such a huge difference on how things look and lay. Good luck with your pressing lessons.
