Gold in Boston

Last weekend I traveled to Boston to compete in a Nazarene Youth convention called Festival of Life. A couple of months ago, I had gone to the district level of competition in Philadelphia and

took my Strips n' Curves quilt along to enter in the competition. It got first place there, so I was sent on to the regional level to compete in Boston. I had an absolutely wonderful experience there being at the Eastern Nazarene College and getting to hang out with other christian teens! And to top the great weekend off, I won two golds. One was for my quilt (God's Promise) and the other one for singing. I am so thankful for the gifts and talents that God has given to me! I am hoping that I will get the chance to do this next year!

Snow Days

The past couple of weeks my area has gotten some snow, causing school to close for a couple of days. During these little breaks, I have enjoyed getting time to sew again.

The first snow day that we had I wasn't able to get to my grandma's house because the roads were pretty bad. So, I just stayed at home and looked around in my own sewing area. I found a simple pattern for a really cute bag. I got some fabric from my stash and sat down for a good part of the day and finished this bag.


I am really happy with the way it turned out!

The second snow day the roads were not too bad, so I traveled to my grandma's house to sew with her ☺. One of my friend's birthday is coming up, so I decieded to get ahead and make her a set of pillow cases.

It felt really great to finally be able to sew again. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long until I can do it again!
