February...a month for rejoicing !

 Sorry to be absent for weeks, but things were different this month.

I, who almost never get sick, have been sick with a certain viral trouble that's been making it's way through the population.  What felt like a truck running over me turned into a reason to rejoice over the LORD's gracious love and care.  Living alone, I am more than thankful for His abiding care and provision.......just His very presence is the biggest source of peace in trying times !

And now, having come out of it, I relish the freedom to come and go, and the wonderful workings of this body in which I dwell ~  It'll definitely do til I get my new one ~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday and the day before, (yes, it took a reCOVering body TWO DAYS), I basted a lap-size (50" square) Christmas quilt .  I used the last of my "All Natural Cotton Batting" by Pellon, purchased through Walmart. com, and I am amazed at how much thicker it is than the Fairfield 80/20 which I generally use.  I wouldn't want to hand-quilt it, I don't think, but it makes a wonderully heavy, drapeable quilt.

Also, I was blessed to receive much fabric from a friend who was cleaning out some of her late mother's stash.   Big and medium-sized yardage of many older prints and flannels.   Where will I put it all??  I AM so BLESSED !   My cup truly runneth over !

Well, I think that catches me up for now, except to say that I got really good mileage out of my recently made red squares quilt, and my coneflower lap quilt.  They were a great comfort to me through my fevers and chills !

May God bless you as He has me, and keep you well and safe til we talk again !
