Life is a little bit crazy for me right now. Who knew that having grown children would require more time than when they were little? Lol - I think I was warned about this, but the time it takes to walk through life as they are figuring out their own is a joyous and sad journey. Life is a good and beautiful mess and while we try to focus on the good, it doesn't mean there are never hard times. Anyway, with a lot weighing on my mind and heart, I am getting little to no projects finished. It's frustrating, but at the same time, it makes the finishes more exciting! I have been trying to get through each one of the pieced quilts for my Juju's Petals Fabric Collection.
The blocks above are from my Butterfly Dance quilt. This pattern is so fun! There is a lot of piecing in this quilt, but the instructions are so easy to follow. I know you will enjoy piecing this quilt, and I look forward to sharing this finished project soon.
I am also working on the quilting of my Juju's Petals quilt. This pattern was a lot of fun, I loved piecing this quilt, it is traditionally pieced without "Y" seams, but there is a new method to piece the corners on each of the blocks. It is explained well in the pattern and I hope you enjoy the challenge of learning something new. The quilting has been a lot of fun and it's really showcasing/highlighting the blocks. It is always fun for me to be able to "go to town" so to speak with the quilting. I hope to be able to finish this project soon.
Happy Quilting!!

You are always so upbeat and positive, bringing light and encouragement into the world no matter what's going on in your own home and no matter what heavy burdens you might be carrying on your heart. I will add you to my prayer list, you and your family, and I know the Holy Spirit will show up and lead you through whatever shadows you're passing through on your journey. God is good, all the time -- and he is looking out for our grown children and has great plans for them, even when we can't see them -- I think our kids are around the same ages. Actually I have found that when I am the most worried about my kids veering away from the path I thought was before them, that's exactly when it turned out that God was steering them where He wanted them to go. Sending you a big hug, from a former student (Spring Paducah 2019) who appreciates you.
