There is a time for everything,
A season for all
things under heaven.
A time to be born, a
time to die.
A time to plant, a
time to harvest…
A time to grieve, a
time to dance.
A time to scatter
stones, a time to gather stones.
A purpose for all
things under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2,
4-5
This is one of my favorite versus out of the Bible. There’s always time, you just have to make time. Life is very short sometimes so let’s make the best of things now and make time for things we love to do besides being with family.
I know one of the
things I love to do is sew. I will make
time for sewing because it is a stress reliever for me even if I have to resew
something. During my childhood I joined
4H and learned to sew. I didn’t like
sewing because I seem to have to rip a bunch because my body wasn’t
perfect. Ha Ha I sewed off and on during high school but
after high school sewed very little. Then
I found a wall hanging I wanted to try for Christmas. That’s when I fell in love with quilting. I’ve been quilting ever since.
This wall hanging is
made with scraps of dark and medium fabrics that I had in my stash. Then I sent it to my quilter and let her
stipple all over it. Really liked the
way it turned out. I’ve also made a few extras
and handed them out when I needed a quick gift.
Using scraps the only expense you have is the panel and quilter if you
decide to take it to a quilter.
So don’t just walk by
the panels in your quilt store. Check
them out and do a log cabin design around the outside. Quick and easy.
Keep Stitchin’
