Hope and Encouragement
Balance
Life is a balance of opposing forces. There is always light within the darkest of times…. hope within the bleakest of days. This continual ebb and flow of movement between and within the seasons, means that night will always give way to bright sunshine. And we will know a brighter and better day than what is now present.

Quilt Corner Tales
An Abundant Life
A lovely quilt with significant meaning. It shows Christ as a Shepherd with his flock. And depicts the promise of abundant life with a variety of colorful fruits. An unusual piece – set on the diagonal with the biblical Rose of Sharon at the top. A verse from Revelations, where it states that God will wipe away every tear, is shown at the bottom corner. This is a unique piece of work with a very reassuring message of comfort.

"How-to-Manual?"
Join the journey as I write my own
“How-to”
Sharing random thoughts and musings on spirituality, faith and friendship…
the questions of life, the challenges… and yes, even the frustrations…

and encouragement.
Words and quilts express it best
filling my journal with colour.
So… how do you ‘muse your life?
