Persistance has played an important role in my life though there have been times when I have quit out of despair. The immense joy and satisfaction that you get as a result of being persistant is however matchless. Inspiring post! Hi!

I shared your most welcome comment with my wife and she was very happy to share your story and connect with a "sister" in this wild and wonderful world of quilting. Anyway, well done. Your quilt with eight Psalms set in it sounds very special. Great to hear from you Sharyn.

Seems like I collected a lot of unfinished projects. I have about 200 or 300 years of them it seems. Wanting to get them done before I die,I decided I had better get a move on and proceeded to finish some of my favorites. The one I chose to work on first was one for our church auction(we need $$ for remodeling that we needed to be done) It's made of "Goose on the pond" blocks set on point, with 8 different Psalms set in the quilt,hence calling it the "Comfort of Psalms Quilt." Loved reading your post (my sister sent it to me). Yes, one has to have persistence to FINISH anything of substance. I too went to my guild to say "Look what I finished." Now on to another project!!
