Leap Year- June Schnibble

Leap Year is the free pattern that Carrie Nelson gave to anyone who had participated in the Year of Schnibble program this year.

I choose to make mine out of scraps that I had gotten from my local quilt shop. I would have loved to make it out of Vintage Modern but with no job for the fall, it jut wan;t in the budget. The free pattern certainly helped out a lot. Thanks Carrie.

This pattern was very easy to make. It went together very quickly and was easily made in a day. Though I did spread it out over 4 days.I can't wait to see the parade at Sinta's & Sherri's blogs on Sunday.

Lazarus Awakening: Finding Your Place in the Heart of God

Joanne Weaver took a familiar passage and made it come alive for me. I loved the new insight I gleaned from this book. I had not read the previous ones in the series so this was my first exposure to her writings. Lazarus Awakening speaks about how God deals with the stones of unbelief, unforgiveness and unworthiness that cover the tombs of our lives.Our relationship with Jesus is the most important thing in our lives but do we act like it.We are encouraged to wake up from our spiritual slumbering and live the vibrant life that Christ has called us to and has equipped us for.

Leap Year

Friday, Carrie of Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. gave everyone a free pattern of “Leap Year” for those who have participated in this year’s “Another Year of Schnibbles” (THANK YOU CARRIE!!). It  releases to the general public l Wednesday for PDF and a couple of weeks in print.

What a generous gift Carrie has given us. It is a great pattern and looks like it will work up quickly. June is a busy month with the end of school and graduation parties going on. I will be working on report cards this week as well as administering CAT testing to my 4th graders. My high schoolers are going to be taking their finals soon. SAT's were taken yesterday.
