Hello Good People!

Today, I am greatful for the best ever quilting templates known as Ardco Quilting Templates. I don't have permission to post their webpage here, so you'll have to google them to find them. They are FABULOUS for hand piecing & hand quilting. They are aluminum, and they have sand attatched to the back, so they don't slip & slide around on your fabric as you trace your template.

Today, I drank some of that sun tea I made yesterday. It was FABULOUS!!! It made me think of watching my Grandma putting out a big glass jar filled with water outside. She would put plastic wrap on top with bags of tea floating on top and the tags of tea bags waving off the top. A thick rubber band, like the kind that comes with fresh broccolli, secured the plastic and the tea bags. And, I'd peak outside at the water in the jar transform into that beautiful amber color in the dry California heat. Now, my Grandma was from the South but moved to California in midlife. She knew and loved her sun tea. As I recall, she loved her tea sweet, lots & lots of sugar...sweet, like my Grandma.

I'm thankful for my Grandma. She's in her 80s, and she calls me periodically from sunny California, asking me how the pregnancy is going. As I said, she's so sweet. I'm amazed again and again to give her a positive report. She tells me again she's praying for me. I think Grandma prayers are extra special.

I am thankful for Ardco Quilting templates, sun tea, my Grandma, and a good pregnancy.

May you all be blessed today!

Blessings,
