                                                         Everyone needs a Quilting Friend in their life like my friend Nancy!
Okay....so we decide we are going to make eye covers for ourselves so we can sleep at night. We take these pictures...Nancy is freaking out that she doesn't have any lipstick on.. "Okay...girlfriend let's get some lipstick!"Okay...we've got the lipstick. Now I insist we need a scarf or something for our double chins!! But that didn't work out.So...its time to try them on.Beautiful!And finally....we figure out how to take a picture of both of us. We still need the scarves!!! Ain't getting old fun??

Now I must tell you about my dearest, best friend. I'm not sure where I would be without her. We met at a women's bible study in the po'dunk little town of Sandy Valley Nevada. We fellowhsipped together on Sunday mornings for years and the biggest thing Nancy has taught me is how to learn to pray audibly anywhere, anytime, anyhow. I will never forget when we were driving down the zigzag one afternoon and I was in tears over one of the kids.  She grabs my hand while she is driving and says..."Let's pray." And she did. I think it was the most lovely prayer I've ever heard in my life. She is a Prayer Warrior and I wish all of you could have a friend in your life like her. She came in to my life at a very sad time for me spiritually and I know she was the angel God sent that I needed so badly! I love you Nanc!!

  3. I've never been to the AQS show in Nashville. Husband is military so I've only been here since this past summer. I have made it to Paducah and plan to be there again this year. Will you be there? If so, I'll introduce myself. :D

  6. What a fun post! I laughed at your comment about getting old. I'm so there right now! But I'm not fond of the alternative just yet.
    Everyone should have a prayer warrior in their lives. I have one in mine and am so blessed because of it.

  7. Hello,
    visiting from Dream Quilter. Love your shoppe, lots of cute stuff. Were you at the San Diego Quilt Show this last fall??? I remember a quilt shop from Utah, and thought it was a long way to come.
