OK so here we go again. I'm pinning a quilt. It's a nine patch, each individual block is 11 1/4 in.square. There are 81 all these 11 1/4 inch squares in the quilt. Plus the 2 inch strips sewn in between each block. So this quilt is 100 and some inches square. My plans are to quilt small designs in each square of the nine patch. So in each nine patch there will be nine designs. Maybe a cherry, and Apple, maybe even cats and dog's. I have six quilts other than this waiting to be quilted. And still more quilt blocks in my sewing room to sew together in quilts. So I'm going to be busy, God willing, for a very long time.
When we can't move around. It's easy to start feeling sorry for yourself, and give up. But as long as we can do anything to stay busy, then our lives feel more useful.
You know, it's really easy to get in a depressive state, and start feeling sorry for ourselves, when we only think about ourselves. But when you start thinking of others, and doing things for other people, the joy starts to grow deep within our hearts. I've noticed most depressed people have their minds on themselves and fall deeper and deeper into a depressive state. All they want to talk about is how miserable their life is. Can't they see, that when you look outward toward others, and get their minds off themselves. They will start to forget that they're depressed, and start enjoying life. So if you're depressed, get out of the house do something for someone else. It will make your day better. And if you keep doing so, your life will be much fuller and richer.
Until next time, God bless and God save.
