Mary writes about the quilt attached here:
This is a variation of the real-easy-we’ve-done-it-a-lot pattern using 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch rectangles.The idea for this particular setting comes from Connie Kresin Campbell. She writes an interesting weekly (usually) blog and often has free patterns, in various sizes, using different sizes of blocks. She often uses the 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangles. Since I have Iots of those, I really like her patterns! Some of you may see some familiar fabrics that got cut into rectangles and put into a bag for “future” reference/use, or a “rainy day”. Well, it’s “raining” now. I didn’t purchase anything especially for this quilt. It’s all from the scraps I had on hand.

Prayer for the week: Susan sent this beautiful video with a thoughtful prayer: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Rtajxo8d7js?rel=0 Amen.
May blessing, peace and the knowledge that we are not alone on this journey; may God be a part of our week as we wander through our challenging days and evenings, knowing the spirit of God is part of all our experiences! May we all remember God in a way that keeps us going and be strong and be kind, loving and compassionate.
