She Perceiveth That Her Merchandise Is Good

The grandkids are gone, and though I am sad, Sassy is thrilled! Emerson decided Sass needed to be in her litter box at all times....meaning whenever she saw Sassy, she would pick that kitty up and drag her to the box, saying "Kitty go potty" all the way!!!! Sassafras was NOT amused...at all.


I put my desk chair from the man room, into the studio. It makes a WORLD of difference in my ability to sit for longer periods of time at the machine!!! Zach and Em tried it out for size.
Emerson loves to watch me sew and hands me pins as she declares "I sew too." Yes, she will be a quilter!! Don't worry..the machine was not on!
I am getting ready to finish up a round of my latest, and largest, piecing project. This quilt has, and will, consume many hours of work. I anticipate some late nights with it in my hands. The next round calls for ORANGE!!!!! A light and a bright on a white background.
This passage of scripture from Proverbs 31 reminds me of the work being done on this quilt.
"She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff." Though my fabric purchases were made at my local fabric shop, these cuties were ordered from Daisy Cottage Quilting.The blue, floral, stork scissors are mine, and the angel scissors are for Charlotte. She LOVES them. She is really working hard at her embroidery and she is making an afghan for a sweet neighbor who gave her a bag full of wonderful yarn. If you haven't visited Sharon's shop, click on the link. She has a wonderful inventory, and my scissors arrived in record time!
That is all for now. Have a blessed Lord's Day , and I'll see you next week!

Those are cute scissors. My kitties hide when the grandkids visit. We do not see them till they hear the last car pull away. LOL Izzie seems to be interested in my quilting too. Maybe our granddaughters will be quilting buddies some day. Wouldn't that be neat? (grin) Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
Blessings,
Winona

I am not able to sew. For one I only know a small amount about it although I would love to know everything about it. Some day when my kids are gone and I have time I WILL be picking up this wonderful pass time. I too love your scissors! Beautiful!
