Mid-Winter Stroll

Went for a little nature walk today and just had to share the serenity of our nearby brook. Enjoy the blessing.

Winter Wonderland

As I work on a quilt for a soon to arrive great grand niece, I gaze out my window and am reminded of the beauty and wonder of nature. We are truly blessed.

Here is the quilt under construction.

And, of course, my faithful assistant.

The Story of "A Promise to Noah"

Genesis 9:12

For several years now, I have been making quilts for children in crisis, be it medical, emotional, social or otherwise. "A Promise to Noah" is my ministry named in honor of my grandson as well as for the Bible passage in which God promises Noah a rainbow after a storm . Each quilt carries with it a promise of hope. They are stitched with love and prayers so each child can find the necessary strength to face their specific challenge. Each quilt is unique and has been named. The recipient receives with the quilt a card with a message of encouragement and the name of their personal one-of-a-kind quilt.
