"It is time to seek the Lord."-Hosea 10:12
    
    This month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which signifies to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery year. Reader, if you are yet unsaved, may your heart, in accord with the universal awakening of nature, be opened to receive the Lord. Every blossoming flower warns you that it is time to seek the Lord; be not out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desires. Do you tell me that the warm blood of youth leaps in your veins? then, I entreat you, give your vigour to the Lord. It was my unspeakable happiness to be called in early youth, and I could fain praise the Lord every day for it. Salvation is priceless, let it come when it may, but oh! an early salvation has a double value in it. Young men and maidens, since you may perish ere you reach your prime, "It is time to seek the Lord." Ye who feel the first signs of decay, quicken your pace: that hollow cough, that hectic flush, are warnings which you must not trifle with; with you it is indeed time to seek the Lord. Did I observe a little grey mingled with your once luxurious tresses? Years are stealing on apace, and death is drawing nearer by hasty marches, let each return of spring arouse you to set your house in order. Dear reader, if you are now advanced in life, let me entreat and implore you to delay no longer. There is a day of grace for you now-be thankful for that, but it is a limited season and grows shorter every time that clock ticks. Here in this silent chamber, on this first night of another month, I speak to you as best I can by paper and ink, and from my inmost soul, as God's servant, I lay before you this warning, "It is time to seek the Lord." Slight not that work, it may be your last call from destruction, the final syllable from the lip of grace.

Bummer Night of Sewing.....


I sewed last night with First Friday Night with Friends again.  It has been a long time since I've had a chance to really set down and sew.  I really miss it.  I mentioned in earlier post this week that I was going to work on a cover for my kitchen aid mixer.  I found a free tutorial online.  Anyway,  I'd been working real hard this week to get my material all quilted so I could finish my project last night. 



I was on a roll.   I had the main part pieced and all the quilting lines drawn. Then Thursday night I ran out of thread to finish quilting the last piece.



Sew I had to run to the store after work just to get my thread.  After sending daughter off to work I got busy.  Got all the quilting done!  Whee!  Started cutting out the pieces.  Nice it was all coming together. I like it when things go well.....Got all the piece cut and started pinning them together.  All of the sudden it happened.... yep things were going too smoothly......


What a BIG hit in the gut.  Can this be right?????  No....No.....Ugh!  Yep the pattern for the ends was about 2 and 1/2 inches too short.




Now, I'm trying to figure out how I can fix this??????  ARGH!  I think I have enough fabric to make the ends again, but I think I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of a creative solution before I go that route.  SEW BUMMED!!!!
