An Eventful Spring

 I have been blessed to have my article "Quilting With Mom And Me" published in the Summer Addition of Cloth, Paper, Scissors "Studios" Magazine!  Thanks Mom for passing on your love of quilting and giving spirit to us and to so many others.  Thank you "Studios" for another great opportunity to be a part of the magazine...I'm so happy.  I encourage everyone to follow your dreams, you never know where they might take you!

 So where have I been hiding these days?  Lots of great things happening this Spring:)  Our nephew Tyler had his confirmation a few weeks ago and my husband Rob is his sponsor.  It was a beautiful church service and I felt very blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy this special day.  Rob spent some special time with Tyler and shared his memories of the farm and what his Father and Grandfather taught him about being a kind, fair, and honest person.  Rob shared some valuable thoughts about being forgiving and understanding.  I am a lucky gal to say the least!   

 We also recently had "Quilt Camp" at 4-H Camp Palmer in Fayette.  Oh did we have fun!  Lots of projects were completed and new ones were started.  I almost finished my blocks from the 2008 Amish County Quilt Shop Hop!  (See them in the picture below).

I have them on my design wall because I like to just look them:)  As soon as the others are finished I will set them together...great fun!

This is not the greatest picture, but you can see the little birds in the birdhouse that was made by my "nephew" Tom.  How sweet to see those little babies.  I sure love this time of year when I can hear the birds early in the morning!  So...that is what has been going on these days.  I have also been keeping all the people affected by the storms in my heart and prayers.  Just tonight we received a message from our guild of how we can help a quilt guild in Missouri at our next meeting and I am on board.  I continue to pray for comfort and peace for everyone.  I also am so grateful for the many blessings I have and the understanding and caring friends and family who pick me up when I fall and make mistakes.  Be sure to thank God for your blessings and tell those you love just how much you care:)
