Thy Word is Truth - Follow the Example of Christ

The past few days I've been thinking about a few things I've seen posted by those who say they are children of God. I'm not perfect by any means and I'm so very thankful for the forgiveness and grace that God extends to me freely. But...

When I see and hear things that are totally contrary to what God says in His Word, my heart grieves. While there is a fine line between grace and legalism, I truly believe that there are no gray areas.

My challenge to myself and to you is to study the life of Christ, follow Him, examine ourselves and then boldly proclaim that we are His!

Catching Up - The Splendid Sampler Sew Along

The month of March was interesting to say the least and has flown by! The last post was for block 5 of The Splendid Sampler Sew Along. I was not able to keep up with blocks 6 through 12 but will post the links below. Just click on each pic to download your patterns, get tips and maybe a bonus or two.

I spent today working on block 13, Scrap Stars. I'm continuing to forge ahead in the three colorways I used previously as you can see in the picture below. Each block timed out at approximately 1 hour. I admit that I struggled a little with the first block but then found my stride with the other two. This block is definitely not a beginner block and I think the instructions could have been just a little clearer. All told, I do like the way they turned out. You can download the pattern by clicking on the photo collage of my blocks.
