This card is going to Cheryl who is facing health issues. My grandmother use to quilt and in the corner of her quilts she always used silver thread to write God Bless. When I asked her why she always said "God is the thread that holds everything together". That has been my motto in life and so I thought this would be perfect to put on this card.

What a perfect card for Cheryl .... and I loved reading about your Grandmother's habit of sewing that wonderful blessing in the corner of her quilts. She certainly passed on a powerful truth for your life!

Oh Ruthie, this is so precious. Cheryl is steadfast In her faith, so this sentiment will have such meaning for her. I love all the little necessary equipment you brought too. Great tape, scissors and pin cushion.

I love your card and your story Ruthie. Your grandma surely blessed you with those words. You've got the perfect combination of pp and brads to compliment her loving quote. Cheryl will love this.

Awesome! Love, love the sentiment. Wise and thoughtful Grandma! I may want to borrow this sentiment. Love the background paper. Lots of thread to help prevent the unraveling. Cute accents, too. I especially like the tape measure and the tiny scissors. Great card. TFS
