Design Wall Monday - November 4, 2024

 Good Morning Quilters!

This is the political campaign button I wore when I voted early last week.   The election workers decided that since the Peanuts character “Lucy” was not on the ballot, they would allow me to wear it.  It is probably 40 years old.

I voted early because I am leaving tomorrow (election day) to go on a quilt retreat.  My strong belief that God is in control of everything calms me in preparation for the results in either direction.  Republican or Democrat leaders for four years; we will survive.  God is in control.

Here are a few small patriotic quilts I’ve made in the past to celebrate our democracy.




While at the retreat, I’m sure I’ll be tempted to start new projects.  Please encourage me to say no, and continue on with finishing what I have previously started.  

What are you working on this week?  This past week you had great posts.  Thank you all who participated.  I am looking forward to seeing what you are starting, working on, or finishing now.  You inspire me.  Click on the link below and let’s begin our Design Wall Monday Linky Party.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

totally agree...have christian neighbors who rant and rail at certain candidates...i expressed the same opinion to them...do my civic duty and vote and leave it to God...

I agree Judy, God is in control. I also voted early. I'm bringing two sewing projects to work on at retreat but then a 3rd one slipped in there! Of course, I also have a handwork project. If I can find you amongst the crowd at retreat, I'll be glad to give you a hug. Perhaps the participants in the 'bird' pattern will have a display in the hallway like last spring, I'll see you there!

Thank you for your wonderful post! We will continue as a country. I have been saying this almost as a mantra. I will be so glad when this election is over! What would be do without God? Well, we wouldn't have air, so this question is rather silly. Have a great time at the retreat.
