I find myself quite content to just sit and do some hand piecing and that is something unheard of for me when I first started to quilt. There is just something about hand piecing.Rose Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222914515169308269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169013206539244621.post-31547805075523937452010-09-17T21:43:09.992-04:002010-09-17T21:43:09.992-04:00I've just stumbled across your blog tonight an...I've just stumbled across your blog tonight and<br />(a) I love that you hand-quilt AND machine-quilt,<br />and<br />(b) I especially love how you weave stories from the Bible into your daily goings-on !<br /><br />Thank you for blogging, sister in faith !Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538342558750190865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169013206539244621.post-41334133473455905252010-09-17T10:01:57.025-04:002010-09-17T10:01:57.025-04:00I also found you on Crispy's blog and I'm ...I also found you on Crispy's blog and I'm so glad I did.

Love the quilts you found on eBay -- absolutely gorgeous!!<br />Sometimes I think I belong in another age but, when it comes right down to it, I really love all the technology we have available. I think it's all about how one uses the technology -- making us the one using it rather than it dominating our lives. Easier said than done, I think, in some cases.Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531639422553980153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169013206539244621.post-58908336842963197062010-09-16T14:27:20.559-04:002010-09-16T14:27:20.559-04:00I like historical fiction too.

I just finished "The Swan Thieves" which is part history, party mystery, and a lot about painting.

I think the people that lived in earlier times had a different value system, work ethic, and spiritual outlook than many do today.

As my husband would say, 'oh, don't get Teresa started on THAT...!"<br /><br />That book series sounds like it is right up my alley. I love listening to good books on tape while quilting, or one of my movie adaptations of Jane Austen books. <br /><br />Maybe that is why I love quilting. It connects me with a simpler, more basic time. Hand quilting is my therapy...it slows me down and gives me a time to "be still and know" and contemplate the mysteries of nature and what-not. My non-quilting friends think I'm nuts, as they bop into Bed, Bath and Beyond and buy horrible imported fakie quilts. They also laugh that we prefer to eat at home, rather than eat out, and don't have the most up-to-date technology.<br /><br />I love that snowball setting for little star blocks...hmmm...very instiring!<br /><br />In stitches,<br />Teresa :o)Teresa Rawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198469746467771421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169013206539244621.post-37548407624018245362010-09-14T11:55:35.196-04:002010-09-14T11:55:35.196-04:00Those quilts are just breathtaking.

There have been so many times in my life where, in looking back, God was preparing my heart for something yet to come but I would not know it for many years later. I think this verse proves that God's word is forever and ever. I love your e-bay finds! I hope you have a day full of blessings and find some time to quilt.
