Quilts from the County Fair

My mom has always wanted to make one of these, so when I see one, I think of her.  

It's amazingly 3-D, isn't it?

Love the BOLD color combination!

County Fair Flashback

A demonstration of hand-quilting.  (As for me, never going to happen!  I don't even have the patience for machine quilting!)

This kind quilter is finishing the quilt after the original quilter died. I think it is neat that the quilt will be finished.

Sunday Thoughts

Note to self:

Stop trying to earn God’s love. 

You have it already.  Love beyond your wildest dreams.

You should not keep God’s laws and seek to do good because you are begging for His love, or trying to win an A+ in the game of life.

Keeping His laws and seeking to do good is simply responding to His love.  It’s how you love Him back.  It’s part of your relationship.

Yes, doing those things are to your benefit, and no, you don’t get to stop just because you don’t feel loving some days.  But striving to please God in order to deserve His love is silly.  You’ll never deserve love so amazing.  So instead rejoice in the miracle that that love is yours already.

Weekly Round Up

I did some sewing at my friend Carla F's a few weeks ago, working on Mom's run.

Her amazing daughter Mary showed me some of her artwork, which you can buy on T-shirts and other items here.

For my birthday, we enjoyed the Red/White Husker Volleyball team scrimmage.  I'd never been before, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Finally, here are some photos that my friend Sarah took before the tea party.  Such pretty girls!

Fringe and Tassel--Going Out of Business Sale

It's all over on Saturday!

Fringe and Tassel, Lincoln's most famous costume shop, is going out of business and they are selling all of their costumes.  They are open from 11am-5:30pm, and 10-2 (or sold out) on Saturday. 

We had great fun shopping, although nothing is priced and so all sales are negotiated.  Most of the clothing is well worn, so check it carefully.  I enjoyed browsing, and of course, I had to try a few things on....
