Sunday---Precious Promises

God's spirit made me and gave me life.  Job 33:4 Good News Bible

Sold

The Festival of Sharing quilt auction was held this past Saturday.  Our quilt donation sold for $450.00.  It was a wonderful creation by Oleta and it was a thrill to quilt.  Happy Quilting!

It's That Time of Year

Each year around this time you'll find me with a quilt to bind for the annual Silent Auction.  Each year the Lydia Circle of the United Methodist Church at Wentzville offers up a quilt to be auctioned.  The monies we raise goes toward our various mission donations within the church and our community.
This year we did a whole cloth.

Through out the year we get many donations from the community.  The donations are used in various ways.  Some things we sell at the Festival of Sharing Quilt Show.  Some we use for quilt tops. This year in a donation we found this whole cloth kit.  The kit was unopened, I guess someone changed their mind.  We had never offered a whole cloth quilt for auction, so decided to give it a try. 

This Queen Anne Star took many hours and lots of thread.  The outcome is beautiful.   We're all anxious to see how the congregation  reacts to our quilt this year.  I'll post the results of the auction in a few weeks.  Happy Quilting!

Sunday---Precious Promises

"Do not let your hearts be burdened.  Believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.  And you know the way to the place where I am going." Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; so how can we know the way to get there?"

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me."  John 14: 1-6  

Festival of Sharing Quilt Show

Today is the day that the Festival of Sharing Quilts go up for auction here in Missouri.  Before the auction we open our church for a show and luncheon.  This year we are especially excited about our donation.  One of our very talented members offered this quilt top as her donation and our Lydia Circle quilt group did the quilting.

I know this quilt has already received two sealed bids.  We feel it will go for a very good price.  I'll let you know.  Happy Quilting!

The Lord is good; he protects his people in times of trouble; he takes care of those who turn to him.  Nahum 1:7  Good News Bible

Sunday---Precious Promises

 

  Be always humble, gentle and patient.  Show your love by being tolerant with one another.  Do your best to persever the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together.  There is one body and one Spirit just as there is one hope to which God has called you.  There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism; there is one God and Father of all mankind who is Lord of all works through all and is in all.  Ephesians 4:2-6  Good News Bible
