I Like Thursdays

Our St. Anne's meeting was last Thursday. I gave a demo refresher on how to bind.

See that machine in the pic?  That was a donation to our group.  Runs great - just need to get a walking foot for it and it will be perfect for us to use at the meetings.

We were so happy that we had 10 quilts to turn in this month.  Here's one of them:

What a blessed retreat!  It was just what I needed. The grounds are so serene and restful.

The views majestic -

The grounds so spiritual

and the mediation places so attune to the Lord.

They fed us so good I skipped lunch on Sunday because I was still so full from the wonderful breakfast they gave us that day.

This was a silent retreat, so from Friday at 8 PM until Sunday, 12 PM we were not to talk. It was hard for some, but I prefer it.

Other things I liked during the week -  all manner of flowers are emerging - here's the first freesia:

Go check out Lee Anna's post of I Like Thursdays - it's always fun to  go there.

Silence is Golden

and if we're open, He speaks in the silence.

I'm off to a Silent Retreat during this Lenten time. I invite you to find a few minutes to imbue yourself in silence and find rest and truth.

See you Monday.

A quick post before I start to pack.
Finished the quilt top - well it still needs a two inch outside border, but I'm going to let the next St. Anne's member that works on this do that as I have run out of time. Very scrappy except the sashing.

These are what the dark squares really look like.

School days are spent playing with DGD in the AM, lunch and nap time, then off to pick up brother.

Waiting for Brother.

Here comes the bus!

Off the bus is Brother.

I like routines one can count on. Spring may have already come our way. We loved all the rain God sent us.  Do stop by and see all the other I Like Thursdays at Lee Anna's.
