Table Runners

It was a beautiful day here - weatherwise. So I decided to drive to The Gathering Place (quilt shop) in Rupert, Idaho. While I was there I saw a pattern for "The Ten Minute Table Runner." I bought a kit - the pattern and fabric. It is the floral one. I changed out the border and backing fabric as it was a dark blue. I like the light peach and off white stripes better.

I made both of these table runners this evening. Easy Peasy. And... so much fun.

Christ is Risen!!!

Truly He is Risen.

I was about 4:10 AM when I returned from church. We had a long and lovely Easter service which started at 10:30 PM (Saturday night).

I am now rested up. We have an Agape Vespers at 2:00 PM today. It is a very short service. Then at 3:00 PM we will have an Agpae Meal - a potluck.

I Remember

I remember when a large majority of Americans were hard-working, honest, compassionate, generous, and caring people.

I remember when I went to school, all the kids learned to read, write and do math way before we graduated from high school. We did not have guns and knives and killings in school. About the worst thing kids did then was to shoot spit balls or chew gum in school.

I still think most Americans are hard-working, honest, compassionate, generous and caring people. But...somewhere along the way, we find ourselves with a huge bunch of people who do not have these qualities and values. We have far too many people who now "demand" that the government take care of them from cradle to grave. I am sad for the people who want handouts because they are being robbed of dignity, pride, self-worth, and respect that comes from one's own labor.

New outift for TT

Nisse (Eva) emailed me this photo of TT in her new outfit - traditional Norweigan dress. Isn't it lovely? TT will fit right in when she gets to Norway. Nisse will be sending more photos soon. I can't wait? How about you?

TT - Going to Norway

Eva (Nisse) in Ohio has informed me that TT will be in Norway soon. She has a new traveling outfit thanks to Eva. I should receive a photo in the next day or so. I will post it after it arrives.

Sewing UFO's

I spent part of the day sewing. I dug into my small projects ufo stack. I worked on two baby bibs and a coffee cup cuff. Also, I machine quilted a small table runner that I started before Christmas. It is made of Christmas fabric from my "merry and bright" Moda jelly roll.

What weather! It rained. Then the sun came out. Then it rained and hailed. Then the sun came out again.
