Speaking at Home

Just thought I'd post a picture of me and my favorite pastor's wife, Claudette Walker. This was taken when I delivered a "Quilting Patches of Life" presentation at Sis. Walker's request to our ladies.

Sis. Walker injured her foot and hips in a fall, but as you can see, she's waving her flag of victory even from her reclining position. That's what I call faithful. Thank you for having me.

Grandma's Fan - Faith Apostolic 7/16 @ 7:30 p.m.

After humbly admitting to many at the annual AQS Quilt Show that I am not an avid quilter, I'm happy to share a little project I recently completed.

Pictured is a sampler of the Grandma's Fan quilt pattern I cut, pieced and quilted all by hand. Grandma's Fan is special to me. Besides being the name of this lovely pattern, it is the title of the chapter I wrote in honor of my late grandmother, Muriel Naas, in Quilting Patches of Life.

I love telling her story. People laugh when I talk about her infamous frugality, but that's not the heart of the message. There's a lesson to be learned from Grandma that inspires those who hear it to look past the mundane routine of life and remember that the little choices and little things we do can be a source of stability and blessing in the lives of others.

I have the priviledge of sharing this story and more with the ladies at Faith Apostolic Church of Troy, Wednesday, July 16, at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to this free event held in the multipurpose room at the church located at 6710 Crooks Road in Troy, Michigan.
