I just want to take a min and be thankful to God for all his wonderful gifts he has blessed me and my family with. He is truly soo good!!!!!!  and his word says he is good to ALL! My little sewing business has been very busy this month! I still have a few things to get wrapped up and I have new ideas to start. I also started making jersey knit skirts for myself which is trial and error but I can wear them in public lol! Oh yes and matching infinity scarves which are super cool!! Hopefuly they will stay in style cuz soo fun to make!!!!
The highlight of this month was finishing a gorgeous quilt that i gifted to my sister, Emily.
Blessings! ElizaJane

So its will be going to its new home next wk! I would love to be able to find these fabrics again but as of right now I am fresh out :(

Isaiah's Quilt



Isaiah thinks its really neat mommy makes things. According to him my job description is mommy makes headbands lol. He also is a biggg fan of my quilts. He likes to help in the sewing room so I came up with an idea to let him make his own quilt. I was thinking and embroidery quilt but I do not thing him handling a needle at this point would be such a great idea lol I decided to let him go through his coloring books pick out what he likes and by using an iron transfer pen I am able to transfer the images to fabric and let him do paint embroidery. Paint embroidery is fun and neat for kids and he can color 12 blocks then I will put sashing in between and yarn tie so he can have it quick and he will have a complete quilt that he did all on his own. Pretty neat huh? If anyone would like to do this for their kiddo's I am using 12x12 inch blocks doing 4 rows of 3 and about 3-4 inches of sashing and possibly a border to make the quilt bigger.

Friend

Do you want to know if you have a true friend?? Proverbs 17:17 says ," a friend Loveth at all times..." I've had people in my life claim to be friends but something wasn't quite right??? Couldn't quite put my finger on it but they were what momma calls a "fair weather" friend ... Their moods toward you changed with the weather so it seemed. With others that green ugly monster called jealousy would pop up every once in a while. The bible says coven tenuous is idolatry and to flee idolatry! It is not smart to compare ourselves with one another we need to learn to be content and rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those weep. friends will come & go in your life but remember there Ida friend named Jesus who will stick closer than a brother!!
