Happy Easter!
Today for Ea...Donna & Robert A,<br /><br />Happy Easter!<br /><br />Today for Easter breakfast I had read your blog and listened to your son Pastor Bobby with his Palm Sunday service via the St. Patrick/Tree Of Life web link.<br /><br />Wishing you and your family a great Easter. Christ is risen! Amen.<br /><br />-Alan<br /><br />P.S.

God is blessing you.

That is awesome.<br />Another thing to think about with quilts made from remnants or scraps: little pieces of "junk" can be sewn together to create a new and beautiful whole. God works like this too. He takes all the leftovers, junk, or would-be trash, restores us, and creates something new and great in our lives.

My wife Elizabeth's quilting group makes "Comfort Quilts" for recovering soldiers and families of fallen soldiers. Also she often adds or hides a good "memory" in quilts she makes for our family when she is making a "crazy quilt" or whatever those quilts are called with many fabrics, though not necessarily remnants.<br /><br />For me, your remnant quilt story reminds me that there is something good and special about everything, even the things that do not work out well or as well as we hoped! And that special something can be used as a foundation to build something anew!<br /><br />One last story of memories & remnants is the Hallowe'en costume that gave smiles to us for years. We were at a loss what to make for one of our daughters but in fall cleaning, I had all these old neckties I was finally willing to part with, me being a pack-rat when it comes to letting favourite shirts, sweaters and ties go!<br /><br />The neckties from big wide ties to skinny ones, once unstitched at the back and ironed, were sewn together with a hem and a waistband, making what we called a gypsy skirt! As our daughter twirled, the memories of times those ties were in fashion or times I, my dad or my wife's dad wore them, flew by our thoughts like bluebirds of happiness. The Gypsy skirt has passed to nieces and one day will no doubt find its way into a remnant quilt itself!<br /><br />Thanks for your "remnant" post as we enter Easter week and are reminded that all is eternal and all can be reborn anew with positive reflections of the past remaining for us to carry forward!<br /><br />God is Blessing all, always<br />J-MJan-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813149854030293572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558023412158904930.post-9371651198528007482012-03-31T07:21:27.745-07:002012-03-31T07:21:27.745-07:00Again, thanks for your thought provoking message, ...Again, thanks for your thought provoking message, Donna. Since my parents have passed it's nice to think that I am a remnant of them. A friend of mine once said that they live on through us. That's a beautiful thought. Also, I love your quilt.<br />Thanks for your blessings and may God bless you and your family.<br />LizElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270714373662167766noreply@blogger.com
