The latest report on the new church building: We moved in one month ago. Since then two new committees were formed. I was asked to serve on one of them. The decorating committee! Somebody has to do it, right? Much time has been spent actively shopping, a lot of time shopping. Below – some of our finds.
The rest of the time? Spent making ourselves at home.
Happy Birthday Syd! And a beautiful one at that. How about lunch?
Last November (9th) I posted Finishing Touches which included a hint about the 2011 Spring fabric line that I had just completed. Well, Spring Quilt Market begins at the end of the week so, I’m letting the beans out of the bag. Terri, your guess was correct, COFFEE it is! “Daily Grind” is a chocolate-y colored, internationally flavored, polka dotted fun group of fabrics. Hope you like the collection of art as much as I enjoy a freshly brewed morning cup!
Quilt shop owners stopping by the Quilting Treasures booths, 300 – 307 in Salt Lake City, May 13th through the 15th, 2011 have a special “Daily Grind” surprise gift offer waiting for them. Be sure to stop by.
Available in quilt shops Mid-June.

Mom…
Sunshine and dry for the first time in fourteen (not forty) days. Rivers cresting and waters receding. Still driving the long way around (the flooding) however, to get to town.
Severe storms have produced large hail, tornadoes and lots of rain here in the mid-west. Sounds like more of the same over the next three days. Flood warnings, flash flood watches and waves of rain are predicted. Grateful we still have our roof over head.

Luke :24
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things.

50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[e] went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:50 – 54

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Luke 22:17-20
Featured artist this week, the Biblical illustrative works of Albrecht Durer as described in the four Gospels.
Behold, your King is coming to you, Meek, and riding upon a donkey, And upon a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ And the disciples went, and did just as Jesus had instructed them, and brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. And most of the crowd spread their garments in the road; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the road. And the crowds that went before him, and that followed, cried out, saying, ‘Hosanna [save now!] to the son of David: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.’ And when he was come into Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred, saying, ‘Who is this?’ And the crowds said, ‘This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee’” Matthew 21
