Sweet Martilla

 Sweet Grandma, Martilla
I just finished a Special Little Tribute to my Grandma Martilla Preator.
I remember as a small girl watching her sew for hours and hours.  I remember going to the church and sitting while she quilted with the other women in her small community.  I could see that she loved Sewing and was very particular and took pride in her Handiwork.
The Quilt she made me when I was born is one of my most prized possessions.
I designed this little Sewing Keep.
It has all the Necessities that she would have had with her as she Sewed.
Starting with Her Name at the top, I mounted an Olde Button and Pin String, Antique Scissors, a Counted Thread Sampler and a Wool Pin Keep!
I designed FOUR different Wool Pin Keeps so they can be changed with the Seasons!
I added a sprig of Sweet Annie because Grandma had an Amazing Garden too!
Love You Grandma!

Our Prayer

This touches my heart.
Whomever you worship, whatever your faith, take a moment to listen...
The Prayer
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
We ask that life be kind
And watch us
from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
