Wednesday's Word: Psalm 107, Part 2. Wednesday Wrap Up. I Like New Recipes!
Wednesday’s Word: Psalm 107, Part 2As I shared on Monday, I was immensely blessed by the Scripture shared on PeaBeas’ Photos and Scribbles so much so that I’ve decided to do a series on them. Last Monday we looked at verse 29a. Today we’ll look at verses 29a – 30.

Thoughtful Tuesday. To Do Tuesday.
Thoughtful Tuesday
This post was written by Boma from The April Journal many month's ago. I commented on it on March 4, 2018. Boma responded with prophetic words. Via a situation which completely broke my heart, my loved one has been on a good road for near two months. Reminds me of the Scripture:
Emphasis on
ALL THINGS
and
GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD.
In other words,
https://theplymothian.me/2016/01/13/romans-828-30-what-is-the-good/
Boma writes that the Canaanite mother in this Bible accounting (Matthew 15:21-28) never stopped pleading for her daughter despite the judgement and discouragement around her.
Hence, even after 25 years, I will continue to pray for my loved one. The anchor holds for me - and for you - my dear reader.
Here is the song writer's testimony and the story behind the song.
The anchor holds despite the ship being battered and the sails being torn.
Jesus is with us.
I promise.
The anchor holds.
Be like the Canaanite woman and keep faithfully pursuing God.
If at this point in your life you can't see yourself doing this, perhaps you can pray for such faith. Or ask a friend to pray for you?
God will respond.
Keep your faith - even if it's as a mustard seed - keep your faith, dear one!

To Do Tuesday
Last Times's List
1) Make 1 or 2 more yo-yo flowers. This week's are so colorful! ✔
2) Make some more progress on my my afghan. I thought I lost a bunch of flowers and I found them! That would have been a ton to make all over again! I just need to make my green flowers now! Whew! ✔
2) Make some more progress on my my afghan. I thought I lost a bunch of flowers and I found them! That would have been a ton to make all over again! I just need to make my green flowers now! Whew! ✔
3. Sew a few more of fun four patches inspired by Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts while visiting with Dad. ✔
4. Make labels for the Construction quilts! I made one. I'm struggling to find a sweet poem/quote to put on the second label, so I've asked my daughter to help me. She is quite talented with words. :)
5. Contact the organizations to give out the drainage bags. ✔
I also finished the Attic Windows quilt top for the El Paso's Children's Hospital! My daughter is quilting it as I write this!
Another one will soon be on its way to my daughter! The story behind it is here if you'd like to read it!
This Week's Goals
1) Make 1 or 2 more yo-yo flowers.
2) Stitch up at least 1/2 of the green skein of yarn for my afghan.

Health Update. Saturday's Song. Slow Stitching + a Finish. Stash Report.
Health Update
via GIPHY
Can you tell that all my exams went well?
Mammo: "normal and benign"
Bone Density: "normal" - even after spending 2015 and most of 2016 in bed/a wheelchair!
Colonoscopy: I'm on the 10 year plan!
Survivors' Guilt: Thanks to the encouragement from my friends in my Cancer Care Group (most who are dealing with incurable cancer, metastasis, recurrences or new diagnosis) , my family and friends, I am living life to the fullest!
I see my oncologist this month and have a full physical next month. For some reason, the imaging center I went to gave me the reports and CDs early! :)
Saturday's Song
This song lists the basics I try to utilize. If you're going through a hard time, you may want to consider them.....
Here is the list:
Please know, God's got you. You will come forth as gold.
Trust Him. (Job 23:10)
Slow Stitching + a Finish
I've been doing quite a bit of slow stitching in the form of binding the Panel Baby Quilt! The recipient was so grateful that he almost made me cry!
I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the finished quilt!
Here it is with the borders:
I machine quilted the borders and hand quilted the bears.
And here I thought I was so original!

Here is the list:
Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
- The Words I Would Say by Sidewalk Prophets
Trust Him. (Job 23:10)

I'm hoping to make even more progress on Prayer Shawl #2. It's already about 48" long!
By the way, I saw this pattern on Fiber Flux. Her directions are fabulous! It's really interesting to see how different it looks with a bulkier yarn!
I'm also hoping I can make some progress on this Oldie But Goodie - the Around the House Stitching Club mini by Wild Olive!

Saturday's Song: Slow Stitching. Stash Report
Saturday's Song
My dear, you are not alone......
Slow Stitching
The weekend's slow stitching started on Friday for me! I've made quite a bit of progress hand quilting this panel baby quilt. Maybe 10 more minutes and I'm done! Afterwards, I'll be machine stitching the borders, binding and off to it's new baby!
This quilt has been glue basted and is ready to be tie quilted. Hopefully both quilts will be ready for binding by Monday!
Stash Report
How exciting to finally be in the "black" for my yarn usage! I finished and delivered Patrick's Strength to the drop off person! Hopefully, he's received it this weekend! I also used up some stash yarn to finish a donation prayer shawl! I'll be sharing pics of that later this week!
Both the Panel Baby Quilt and Scrappy Squares Baby Quilt are well on their way to being finished this week so I should be in the black for fabric next week as well!

Liebster Award!
Liebster Award!
Guess what? Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting nominated me for the Liebster Award!
Liebster is a German word with many meanings some of which are sweetest, valued and kindest. This is an award given to bloggers from other bloggers! You can discover more information here! Thank you so much, Nancy!
As part of the process, I'm going to answer a few questions so that you can get to know me better!
If you could meet one quilting personality, who would it be?
I don't know a lot of the bigger names in quilting, but I would love to meet the lovely women I have blessed to meet since I've started this blog!
Who inspired you to sew?
Two people - my aunt and my daughter. When I was a young teen, my aunt made me a beautiful green dress. I enjoyed every step of the process!
Later, when my daughter started sewing, I decided to jump in with both feet so that we would have even more to share!
What do you like to do when quilting?
I binge watch Netflix series or listen to Postcasts. When the going gets tough, I listen to music. Every night, though, I call my dad. I've learned so much about his life as I play in me sewing studio. It's like he's sitting in my rocker keeping me company!
Do you have a favorite snack while quilting?
Not really, but I do drink iced water or iced coffee.
Do you look for quilts when watching movies?
Ha! There's so much to do when watching TV! I'm usually crocheting, hand sewing, responding to comments and emails, commenting on other blogs and posting on Instagram! I try to limit my cruising the net time as I can lose track of time.
Which comes first, fabric or pattern?
For me, it's usally the pattern. My daughter finds great quilts for us to make. I also enjoy picking my son's brain for quilts/projects he would like to have!
What is your favorite finish?
By far, my favorite finish is my 2015 $7.50 BOM quilt. I made it while undergoing chemotherapy for Triple Negative Breast Cancer and presented it as a gift to my husband. I wanted to thank him for the wonderful care he gave me throughout our journey.
Quilt by hand or machine?
I really prefer to send my larger quilts to Stephanie and the smaller ones to my daughter. Lately, I have quilted four pieces, three by machine for my "grand-doggy, Marley,
Favorite color?
Yellow! When I make a quilt, I love bright, cheerful colors like the ones I used in my Scrappy Sampler!
Favorite notion?
I collect pretty and unusual seam rippers. If I have to rip, it will be with a fun tool! :)
Do you work on one quilt at a time or many?
I used to work on a different quilt each day of the week. I'm learning that for me, it's better to work on one quilt at a time. I do try to have a day for my BOM blocks and charity blocks. I slow the pace down on the weekends with slow stitching - hand sewing, crocheting and embroidery.
My current crochet project is for a young man who is fighting for his life as we speak: Patrick. Here is the progress on
Patrick's Strength:
Janice @ Color, Create, Quilt
Betsy at Faith Spilling Over
Who would you like to nominate for the Liebster Award?
We can nominate several bloggers. I have contacted one and there's a few more that I'm contacting today. I'll keep you posted!
Again, Nancy, thank you so much for this wonderful opprotunity!
