LOVE IS KIND

Love is Kind

Here we are at another wedding Anniversary. I based this year’s complimentary design on what is, I assume, a popular wedding verse from 1 Corinthians: ‘Love is Patient, Love is Kind…’. It was one of the verses that Bill & I chose for our ceremony 31 years ago.

This past Sunday, as we were sitting in church, this particular verse was one of the readings for the day. It was special to hear it as I sat there knowing about this year’s design [these are my gift each year for Bill]. It came to mind that we often hear just the 1st 6 words of that passage…what I quoted above. What I hadn’t heard in a long time was the last parts of the lesson: ‘It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.’ – I was instantly reminded why these past 31 years have been so special.

 

Please enjoy this sweet trifle – I look forward to seeing all the finishes…you’re a talented bunch!

 

If you are looking for the previous year’s complimentary charts, search through blog posts that fall in either late January or early February. While the charts are still available as PDF’s, the items that I offer with a SASE are not (save your stamp!)

 

Thank you for celebrating another year with me & as always, enjoy the stitch!

    Ah, this melts my heart, especially because your dad & I were at that wedding on a cold, windy day in Pittsburgh! You two are great parents to our two Iowa grandboys, who are now grown, grand young men. Our best wishes to the two of you! And we have a great daughter & son-in-law!

    Love, Mom & Dad

No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all weekend. Billy just got home from an amazing trip out west where he got to white water raft, ride a gondola, hike in a national park (where they saw all kinds of wildlife), swim, go to a real rodeo, go on an alpine rail, make new friends and so much more. 

I missed him so much (even though he doesn’t live with us every day…yep, the mom in me knew he was far away 😊) - we are so thankful to the Let’s Go West team for planning & documenting this trip. He’s staying on with us a few more days …I was even excited to do his laundry!?!?🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you know that when I released Well Hello There - we called those adorable buttons that grace each stitch every month 'button-moji's'?? 

Button-moji packs are still available from my dear friends @justanotherbuttoncompany - I don't know that button-moji ever caught on as a word but they sure look cute

A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started Harvest Lilies from my good friend Tracy @inkcircles.xs - I switched up the linen for 32ct Rosewood @fabrics.by.steph & called for threads with Sulky 12wt. I do have a yellow pulled for the negative space that looks kinda quilty. I'm thinking about leaving it like it is...what do you think?
