FUN surprise

Yesterday when I logged on to Facebook and started scrolling through the posts I had a most pleasant and wonderful surprise.   On the Quilting Daily post they featured the Dutch Canal group quilt that my friends and I made in 2012. I have it posted on their website, where you can download your creations.



The last I checked it had over 235 "likes", around 20 comments, and several "shares".  That is so exciting! It was such a fun project. Each slice is just 4" wide and the artists only saw their slice and had no idea what the overall picture was going to be.  It turned out great.  Here is the picture it was based off of - one I took on a trip to The Netherlands in 1992 with my mother and sister.

I may soon be able to share some great news about a move and a job for DH and I.  I can tell you we are really excited about this possibility and feel that God is putting it together for us.  There would be some awesome photo and art opportunities with it!  That sounds good too.

  1. I check into your blog regularly (about weekly) to see how you and your family have been doing. So glad to hear DH has a possibility on the horizon. I have been praying for you and your family every time I check in.

    1. Thank you Kay. I've not been blogging as much lately, will try to do more soon. It will be fun to share what we'll be doing if/when this job comes through. I so appreciate your prayers. It's so exciting to see what God is doing for us.

  2. I can hardly wait for the details on this exciting news!
    I am so very very glad for your husband and you, my friend.
    And the 'picture' of the Dutch canal is beautiful.
    You and your friends are real artists.
    Sending blessings and a big hug!
