Hello! Welcome to {wow me} wednesday!

Light the World Ornament {tutorial}

Good morning! I’m a few days late on mentioning this but better late than never, right? haha! Anyways, each year my church does a special Light the World campaign centered around sharing the love of Jesus Christ. They produce a calendar with something to do everyday during the month of December. It’s fun to do individually or as a family. This year they’ve added Light the World with Love which is just what this world needs right now ~ more love.  You can download the calendar and more right here. I teach a primary class at church which is the Sunday School for the kiddos. I made these Light the World Ornaments to hand out to my kiddos this Sunday along with a Light the World calendar. I thought they could hang the ornament on the tree as a reminder to do their light the world service each day. Let me show you how I made them. :)

Also, last week I shared a fun new Etsy shop,
High Boltage Quilting, that specializes in rag quilts.
They do such a great job! These quilts are some of the softest,
most comfy quilts I’ve ever seen.
A handmade quilt would make the perfect Christmas gift.
Please pop over & heart their shop. :)


Handmade Rag Quilts make the best gifts {High Boltage Quilting Review}

This post is brought to you by High Boltage Quilting.

Good morning! Recently I was contacted by Michelle from High Boltage Quilting about receiving one of her beautiful rag quilts. Michelle and her mom have made over 100+ handmade rag quilts that they have given away to friends, family members, coworkers and medical personnel. Now they have turned this wonderful hobby into a wonderful shop and are now offering their beautiful handmade rag quilts to everyone.

If you are not sure exactly what a rag quilt is, rag quilts are quilts that have exposed seams that fray when washed. This makes a rag quilt a very cozy quilt that's perfect to curl up in on the couch, lay on the ground outside in the sun or as a throw on in your bedroom. These quilts also make great gifts for new babies, weddings, or as gifts for the upcoming holidays. Let me tell you more about these beautiful quilts! (Just FYI, my daughter is in town this month, and I snagged my two grandsons for this cute rag quilt photo shoot!) :)
