Since I hadn't posted in a while, I thought I'd let you all know what I've been up to. This month is flying! Two weekends ago I attended a Christian Women's ACTs Retreat. I don't know if any of you have ever attended a religious retreat before, but this was my first and I have to tell you it was wonderful. It can be so emotional, but so uplifting. It was beautiful.
Next, I joined a Block of the Month group at a nearby quilt shop. We are working on a wool bed cover (which I will hang mine) by Maggie Bonanomi. It consists of both hand-dyed wool and velveteen. I had never worked with velveteen before, but can tell you it's been a challenge for me. I love it and can't wait to have it finish.
Here is block one.
Block two
This is the pattern. I wanted to show you what it will end up looking like.
Besides going on that retreat, working on my BOM and custom order dolls - I have been doing a little planting. Since Spring has finally arrived, I've been working in the yard.
I love greenery and flowers!
Have you all done your planting? I hope to have some new dolls done soon. Until then, take care and many blessings to all.
Hugs,
Hi Pat,

Pat, I have been wanting to go to an ACTS retreat, but every time I inform myself it's always in Spanish ..( I understand Spanish ) but I'd rather do it In English ....my sister did it and she just was filled with the Holy Spirit!.. And she tells me that it was the best thing she could of ever done for herself..She now has gone on teams with the retreat..she keeps telling me it's what I need. I hope to do so ASAP.
ReplyDeleteOn anther note: I love your spring pretties!
Have a blessed day!
Marissa
DeleteI'm so glad you are looking into going to a retreat. You will love it and it does change you and makes you feel so blessed and content to be here. You appreciate things so much better. I'll keep you in my prayers that soon you will be able to go
Hugs,
Pat
