Watch Words

Thank you, God

for all You have given me;

for all You have saved me from;

for all I am because of You.

Wisdom and Understanding

Lord, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

to change the things that I can, and,

the wisdom to know the difference.

MARCHing On

Hello all dear friends,

I have been having too much goof off time and simply got lost in all the beautiful Market release last month.  Wow!!!

March marches on toward the end of  the winter season and I am sure everyone is ready for a bit of spring, but before I embark upon spring, I had to get some things finished and caught up from winter.

I've finished my winter SAL with Blackbird Designs Yahoo group on Friday evening.  I filled the windows in and filled the top of the door and the window atop the door so it appears there is a light on.  I hope to go out for a frame soon.

Here are two more blocks of the red work I made mention in my last post.




OK.  I fell waaaayy behind on my BOM I am doing with a group of ladies here locally.  I think I was behind 3 months (3blocks) and will get a new block this week.

The first one has been done for sometime now and I don't even remember what the block is called.  I do remember it was to be a star in the center, but because of my fabric choice and placement, I lost the star.  I liked the way the way the block looked so I did not redo it.


I cut the following three blocks on Friday and sewed them up this morning.

Pinwheel

Lover's Knot

Maple star

And finally, here is my second Folk Art Tribute Bom I made mention in my last post.

I made yo-yo's for the flowers and added some buttons for the center



Please forgive all the dangling threads.  The blocks have not yet been squared but will be when before putting them together.

I hope you all enjoy these  pictures of my work and hope to be coming around visiting your blogs as I have fell off there as well.

Ooops! One more note.  I've had to change my email addy and my new email is under my profile.

Until next time.  Be well.

Always,
Jacq...
