YOU'RE LOVED!!!!!

 

There's nothing worse than not feeling with it. Feeling frozen out. 

But the neat thing is that it doesn't matter because Jesus loves you ALWAYS!!! 

 

 And here's the part that will set you free!!! Jesus loves you because of what's in your heart!!! Not how big your bank account is or isn't. Not because of who you hang around with or who you don't. Nor does He really care how immaculate your home is. He cares most about the love in your heart!!!

Here it is, Holy Week and that should have you feeling pretty ducky! 

Why? Because He died for you and me to live life to the fullest!!! 

So if you feel frozen, or left out...or know someone who does, remember YOU'RE LOVED!!!

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, 

shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

The Prayer Pet Pattern, YOU'RE LOVED will be available soon!!

Fear Not...it's Valentine's Day~

 

I absolutely LOVE this scripture and was playing with typography - ta-da...here it is artfully designed. 

This scripture means so much to me, not for just everyday life, but also while tackling the creative process.  Not every stitcher is right handed, but the implication is that the Lord will help us and we need not fear the process - whatever it is. 

Having a crew over for Valentine's Day? Fear Not...He's there to help you. Deciding on whether to send that person a card...or not...Fear Not, He will help you in that decision. Overwhelmed that you don't have a special love? Fear Not...He loves you more than you'll ever know - just as you are!!! 

Freaked out about bills? Fear Not...He's there to help you through the darkest of valleys, all the while holding your right hand. 

You will make it to the mountain top! And He'll still be holding your hand. What a comfort!

So then, be brave, all the while knowing that He'll be helping you in your endeavors - He will help you in creating the perfect gift for your loved one with patterns from Fear Not Pattern Co...even if at this particular moment it's you. Because HE loves you that much.

So Fear Not and enjoy the creative process. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Fully Rely On God....FROG!

It's a new year and today it was a balmy 55 degrees and we're still praying for moisture here in the Midwest. While it's beautiful, I opened the windows to let some of the nice in and the stale out.
And that's what HE does for us when we have faith and Fully Rely On GOD.
The First Baptist Church, located in Valentine, NE, requested permission to make the Fully Rely On God pattern for their shut-ins and college students.
The put together this display after having a work day making the frogs. What a clever idea! And what wonderful, colorful, frogs and with such endearing expressions.

Welcoming the parishioners in the vestibule of the First Baptist Church

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble! Psalms 46:1; How's that for a reminder to Fully Rely On God..in all our circumstances.

What creativity and color!!!

What expressions!

What if we ALL Fully Relied On God?

Edna was in charge of coordinating the project and gathered these pages for the kids to color as cards to be included in with the Frogs as"Gifts of Love."There are also sheets that show the ids how to draw a frog and other scriptures that go with the theme: We love because He first loves us, 1 John 4:19; Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart, Psalm 37:4; The LORD watches over all who love Him, Psalm 145:20; God is our refuge and strength, An ever-present help in trouble, Psalm, 46.1...which brings us back to trusting our Lord and Savior!

Is your church helping shut-ins? Would you be interested in using Fear Not Pattern Co patterns? Please let me know and e-mail me at fearnotpatternco@yahoo.com! Have you used Fear Not Pattern Co patterns, please share them and I would be happy to feature them on the blog!!

Season of Living

Do you ever feel as if you're a pawn on some big cosmic checkerboard of life? My life has been so blessed, I can't imagine some of the things families have to go through, including breast cancer. Thankfully, great strides have been made with all the research in detecting, and finding cures for breast cancer.
Northcott Fabrics is donating a portion of the price of their Quest for a Cure fabric line to breast cancer research both in the USA and in Canada.
Using their fabrics, I came up with a new pillow panel called Season of Living...because you just never know where you'll end up.
While the panel is complete, the pattern isn't yet. It's on my list of things to do...
This panel was inspired by my Aunt Jan. She lost her mother to cancer of the tongue...her mother would be my grandmother. We sure miss her, and my Aunt Jan's idea was to have something for the family who would like to remember their loved one.
There are many ways to do this which will be included in the pattern. For now, I've used scripture that should provide encouragement to the breast cancer patient who is undergoing treatment.
I will let you know when the pattern is ready at FearNotPatternCo.com

Here's hoping there will be a generation that will never know cancer! And a huge thank You to my Creator for a very blessed life, along with  prayers for the families whose lives have been afflicted by this disease. May the funds from the purchase of this fabric really make a dent in the quest for a cure!!!
AMEN!

Song of Hope...

The pattern for Song of Hope is nearly done. It's in the proofreading stages right now. I'm so hopeful that this pillow pattern will bless women who have had or will undergo a mastectomy. The pattern will be available at FearNotPatternCo.com very shortly...

There are two other patterns  in the works that will be using Northcott's Quest For A Cure fabric line. My aunt, who lost her mother to cancer, (my grandmother), thought it would be nice to have something In Memory Of....
That design is currently being sewn together, but will have multiple uses but more on that later.

 In my opinion, cancer isn't for pansies. The third will talk about that but will be for someone who just wants to purchase this lovely fabric so they can help with the cause...

And give us all HOPE!

Remember, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Northcott's Quest For A Cure fabric line is already available.
