Design Wall Monday and Guest

Life …

Uncle Edgar Strite from GA came for Edwin Knepp’s funeral and spent the night with us. I was so sorry that Aunt Evelyn didn’t come along.

… as a Quilter

See other Design Wall Mondays at Patchwork Times.

Dana got 3 more blocks sewn for her quilt and I did some machine stitching on my “lily” quilt.

I’m stitching close lines about 1/8” apart and I’m calling them “organic” because I can’t get them precise and even.

And then I got tired of stitching just straight lines, so after stitching a band 3” wide I changed my mind, stitch, and color of thread.

And now I’m going to set a goal for "A Lovely Year of Finishes" to have all the quilting finished on this quilt by Oct. 30. I really hope to have it all finished, {as in done, finito, nothing more to add, ready to use/display/give away}.http://www.patchworktimes.com/2013/09/30/design-wall-monday-28/

Edwin Knepp

When I came to Mississippi back in the 70’s to teach at the Magnolia Christian Day School, I stayed with the Edwin Knepp Family.

This past week Bro. Edwin “went home to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, September 22, 2013. He was in declining health in his later years and died in his home near Macon, MS.”

I so much enjoyed staying with this family while I was away from home.

Loving, kind, compassionate, and jolly are words that describe Bro. Edwin. He drove truck for us for many years. “Preacher” was his CB handle. And he loved to preach a good sermon and had a concern and vision for the Church. He will surely be missed by many people.

Here's a link of a post when Edwin & Tressa were in our home.
And another one of cottage meeting with Edwin & Tressa.
And here is another one.
