A New Project–Pink Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I decided to participate in this years Rainbow Scrap Challenge. The color for January is pink.

So, I started a new project, an easy project. I’m making panels of color. Here are 2 of the 4 panels I plan to make. Do you recognize any of that old 1970s fabric?

Later I plan to cut the panels diagonally and team up with dark fabric and …. Just wait and see!
Since this is a new project for me I’m also linking up to

Belts

I used to wear belts with my dresses.
Now I'm going to throw them all away and free up some space in the top drawer!

Interwoven

It took more than a quilt to unite the North and the South. However in thinking of The Blue and the Grey, I decided to depict “Quilting America’s Great Divide” with what looks like interwoven strips of fabric as weaving the country back into one unit.

I started this quilt back here and wasn’t very happy with it. I laid out glitzy thread and shinny netting but it still didn’t make it’s way into the quilt.

I did meet my goal with Fiber of All Sorts of finishing this quilt by the end of January.
And now my goal for February is to get Talya’s quilt quilted, bound, and completely finished including the documentation.

Romania (3)

On Sunday we drove 4 1/2 hours to Bucherest to visit a young church, 4 years old.

I was fascinated by the sights in the city. The Christmas lights were blue & white ‘trees’ strung across the street. Snow had accumulated on them, but I can just imagine they were pretty when it got dark and they were lit up.

The meeting place for this church was in a new skyscraper owned by one of the members. They could meet here, rent free.

The elevator was state of the art with mirrors on the sides and ceiling.

A lot of the members are young university students and they bring their friends to introduce them to the good news of the gospel.

They had a dedication for this baby as part of the service. And then a wonderful message from John 9, or was it 10?

Paul liked this semi trailer rig advertising for Orange tour. He wanted to make sure I got a picture of the front grill. I thought the circular windshield and wipers were amazing.

This was another building that took my camera’s eye. Coca-Cola!

We passed this lady on our way to lunch and she was still there when we came back. I was glad that she was eating a plate a food and it looked like she also had warm clothes.

Our host was Sorin with his wife Naomi & daughter. He intrepreted the church service for us and gave us a glimps of the work of the church there in Bucherest.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have a ride in a Smart car?

We got back to “The Potter’s House” a little late but in time for the evening church program.

Gabi & his bride Anna Mary visited us yet after church. They are the recipients of a wedding gift, a picture painted by my niece Claire Bleu.

These young boys found a nice hiding place in the kitchen.
