Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing your heart's burdens. During all times, but, I think, especially now, we need to be in constant, diligent, unending prayer for our world, our country and all those who do not know Jesus. Our God is still on the throne and will not be moved. We need to exercise every ounce of faith and not fear that we can, and let God be God. Thank you, and God bless you.
Bonnie! Thank goodness there are people in California that have their heads on straight! Love your faith in the Lord and your tender heart!! Prayer is powerful and God has this!! I do enjoy your quilting and anything fabric related. Keep sharing the ‘good’ stuff!!
oh Bonnie... How raw and real you are... My 58 year old heart shares the weight you carry.. I lifted you in prayer as I listened to you and I cried with you... These times are hard... and I believe we are also in the end times and God's Glory is what I focus on and what my home with HIM will be like... I pray with and for you.... constantly....
ThANK YOU so much Kathy!! My prayer warrior and friend. So many are lifting these terrible situations and these der people up in prayer. It's what we must do! Pray and stitch
Bonnie, you spoke to my heart... the hurt is so real this week. I've cried so much and cried along with you this morning. I'm so grateful to have my faith and to be lifted by your testimony. Thank you so much for all that you share....the beautiful quilting and the raw, emotional hard stuff. May you be lifted up with joyful times this week. I love and needed to hear "joy nevertheless" this morning. Big hugs!
I enjoy watching your videos and seeing all your beautiful creations I love all your quilts they are stunning 🤩 I understand everything you are talking about and believe everything you talked about. I feel the same way you do that our freedom has been taken away. I pray 🙏 that things will change for the best of our country and the people. Take care and stay safe 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Enjoyed seeing your quilts! I too am starting to love the smaller and mini quilts. Must be how quickly they come together!Bonnie, I have the same thoughts you are expressing about our nation. I feel fortunate that I live in Florida but my heart is heavy for many things going on in the US and now in other countries. I was brought up in a military family so have much respect for God and country. Like your father, mine, if he were still living, would never understand what's happening, nor do I. Thank you for being so brave and speaking your heart. Don't stop being you!
I agree with every word and appreciate the strength it took for you to share your feelings! I too am devastated about what is happening to our beautiful USA and embarrassed about the impact we are causing on other countries. I have turned my anguish over to God and like you am quilting, reading, and cross stitching to help ease the devastation I feel. I cry over the lost lives of innocent victims that thought the USA had their backs. My heart literally aches and thank you so very much for sharing your gentle soul and your amazing works of beauty. ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️❤️
Oh, thank you, Becky. It took me two days to post this video. I did it after much prayer and trusting that it would be the right decision. God is faithful and His word does not go out void!!
I too have been struggling with the state of our country and the state of the world! Your message and all the comments that are in agreement are powerful that I no longer feel alone! Thank you so much because he led me to listen till the end! May god bless and keep you all the the days of your life 🙏
Another great video. I can't begin to pinpoint what I liked best quilting wise, It was ALL wonderful. We certainly are on the same page with our views .... political and His Truth. There is no doubt we have entered the beginning of the end. In fact we are past the beginning. Look up my friend ...... for our redemption is drawing nigh. I'm sure we'll be quilting in heaven together. Love you!
Thank you for sharing everything you picked up and your beautiful quilts. Most of all your heart. Pray. My son served deployment in Afghanistan and praise God came home safe and alive.
Hi Bonnie. Thank you for sharing your faith. My heart is so heavy for our nation and for Americans left in Afghanistan. I love our nation. This did not come as a surprise to our God. He is in control. Christians will find their refuge on our knees seeking God’s direction. 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
Absolutely. Heaven awaits! Thank you for sharing your heart. I believe there are a lot of prayers going up for our country and for all those in harm’s way and for the families of the hero’s.
I stayed for the end because I have your same beliefs and I too have been struggling. There is a rally in your state on Sept8th! I will be praying that we the people win the evil out there. I always PRAY!!! I have had you in my thoughts always looking for you on here so I don't feel so alone. Please I pray that everyone wakes up! Love you Friend in the Lord
I love your creativity, videos, and your willingness to share your faith. We, too, are committed to praying for the Lord to bring our country through these wicked and trying times. He is faithful, loving, and just to hear and answer our cries for mercy
Bonnie I also cried along with you and have the same thoughts and concerns as you do. Thank you so much for having the courage to share this with all of us.
Wow!! You have been super busy!! What glorious quilting!!! I’ve been just as busy, trying to get my mind off of the insanity. It works a lot of the time but it’s always there, the worry and sadness. My faith is stronger than ever and I’m actually fairly calm because I know this is God’s plan. Sometimes I feel do isolated thinking I’m the only one who knows the truth. It’s so comforting to know we are not alone. God will not forsake us. Keep doing things that make you happy.
Yes, Sara. It is a struggle with the effort to divide us in almost every area. At least we know where we can find truth..God's Word. I must keep my eyes on Him and pray for His mercy and perfect will. That He would open the eyes of those who need to see the truth.
Dearest Bonnie, Here in Australia, things are happening that I never believed I would ever see. I teared up as I listened to you, because life is getting tough for Christians and Christian countries. So many scriptures come to mind as I write this, however the one that comes to the fore is Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you”. He has given us the gift of prayer and to be able to speak with the living God is an awesome privilege. Please know I will be including you in my prayers and will also pray for a new awakening to the truths of the One True God for America 🇺🇸 and Australia. 🇦🇺 Let me also say that I so enjoy your floss tubes. Blessings Gail.💕
As always, I love seeing all the beautiful things you've been working on. Something to remember: Our inputs shape our outlook. We can keep our thoughts focused on those things listed in Phil. 4:8 and refuse to let the enemy enter our minds. I've noticed that the more wicked things get, the brighter the light of Truth shines, and that encourages me. I hope it encourages you, too. ❤
Thank you! Perfect encouragement this morning! So many heartaches and frustrations going on now. Couldn’t fall asleep til 4 this morning. I had to stop the worry by reading Bible AND listening to Bible audio….and stitching!
Hello Bonnie. I really enjoyed your quilting video. I love the scrapy ones. I live at Costa Rica, but my daugther is American (I was living at NJ when she came to this world) and she lives at NJ right now. I am always praying God about your country because I keep it in my heart. At Costa Rica we have a great Constitution and freedom practice, and we don't even have army. But I have the same concern about freedom is being crushed little by little (kind of guerilla war against freedom) at U.S.and even at my country. And the governments had been taking God out the nations and out of the schools, forgetting without God nothing is okay.
I understand your concern because I have them also, I am 77 so I have grandchildren that will be so greatly affected by the way things are going. I am a Christian and I know that even though it doesn’t seem like it at times God is in control. We must just trust in His plan.
I want you to know how you inspired me. Last year I kept wanting to do a floss tube/ quilty tube. I knew that I wanted to add God in both of them! I finally started one 3 weeks ago. I do add a word from God in it. I want to add more and will as I do more of them. We need to speak out, cry out to God. He is our Strength and in Him I place my trust! God bless you! I’m listed under stitching granny of 17.
Bonnie, In reading these comments, I know we are not alone. Totally agree and grateful for sharing your worries. This is a good vs evil battle and Christians and Jews are targets. We need to speak up. We need to fight for what is right. We need God’s army of angels to fight with us. We must be faith warriors. Don’t even glance at the comments that don’t agree as you. Why did they write that? Just to be mean! That is from the dark side. Sending you peace and prayers.
Our children and I are feeling the same terrible burden of these times as you are. I hope that is a comfort to know that you’re not alone in your distress. I would be heartened, except that there has been such a decline of moral values, respect for others rights when they may not align with the people that want this administration in power, an outright aversion to God and patriotism, the blatant stealing of a presidential election, seeing our President banned from social media and yet Taliban leaders allowed to have an account, then Afghanistan and our standing in the world’s eyes…….it doesn’t seem things will reverse. I keep telling my children that God is in control. I do believe the stage is being set for the unpleasantness that is to come. I tell my children to keep their eyes on our God and He will see us through. We have to keep looking up and pray, pray, pray. On a happier note, I also share your love of quilting. I love all the quilts and little projects you shared, especially the basket quilt! I’m also enjoying being immersed in my quilting to take my mind off of what’s going on in this world. We need to shut it down and seek the peace of God and pursue it. Sending prayers for comfort and strength.
Your work is beautiful and I enjoy your videos so much. I'm going to try the pineapple paper from the fat quarter shop that you showed. They have so many interesting products. I'm already looking forward to your next video.
I'm with you. After all how many large quilts do you need. Also since I"m getting up in age small quilts are a little faster to get done, but not alway. LOL. But I am starting to make smaller quilts even taking quilts that have large blocks and making them smaller...love your quilts
I have a mind that never shuts off which makes it hard to sleep too. I agree with everything u said, and didn't say, for fear of being thrown off UA-cam. My only son is a former Marine. He was one of the first ones into Iraq when this began so long ago. Then spent 8 yrs working as a security contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was so blessed that God put people in my path to comfort me n pray for us then. I can say I truly had the peace that surpasses understanding. I grew up a worrier so that peace was definitely from God. Because of being a Marines Mom I have such empathy for military families and when those precious souls were killed I couldn't keep from crying but at the same time I was, and am, so angry because it didn't have to happen. As I watched our sad excuse for a (fraudulent) President greet their flag draped bodies, all I could think is I would have to say to him. " YOU killed my son" and turn my back on him. I'm a very introverted peaceful person, usually, but I'm having so much trouble shaking the anger and sadness. I also have a nephew I love like my own child who is in the Air Force. Maybe that's part of it. But I know my God is faithful and true and mighty. We have to remember He knows what's going on and is working on it already even if it doesn't seem like it. And remember praying is one of the most powerful things we can do. And it changes things. Not always as quickly as we want it to. But it does change things. I too have buried my self in stitching to soothe me and try to listen to as much truth as I can find. Thank you for making the video, as hard as it was for you, because I needed it to lift my spirits and give my mind a much needed rest. And it also helped to hear a like minded Christian speak truth. I am pretty much surrounded by democrats. Thanks for always sharing your heart. Bless you and you are in my prayers. And I to will choose joy never the less.
You are precious...getting ready for Hurricane Ida..but at peace bc my sweet dad went to his Heavenly home and miss him immensely.. he will be safe in God’s arm. Pray for me.. 1 hr north of Baton Rouge La
Log Cabin Stitcher God performed His Miracles..Our parish (county) was spared..but surrounding areas were not..South Louisiana is a mess. Thank you for your prayers. Heading back to school tomorrow and praying that our precious little ones are okay..Going to try and give them love and feeling of security, and regroup what we have taught last few weeks.. thanks again.. believe that dad in his Heavenly Home also protected us..
God Bless you. 💖 You are not alone, just keep trusting in our Lord and Saviour. Keep Praying and just remember we are just passing though this sad, sad world. One day we will live in complete peace and joy. So as Christians today we just have to keep praying daily and just let God take over our lives. He is in Control even if there are times we don't think so but He is. For that I'm sure. I choose Joy. 🙏🙏🙏
Regarding the pink: the only description I can find online is that pinks were called "double pink" during the Civil War. There may be other names but haven't found them yet.
Hi Bonnie :-)) your thoughts on life line up with my belief system..I do believe God is not done pouring his grace out on our great nation though..I feel God's presence and I do believe that even though things look really bleak right now..as it has look at times throughout our history..I think of what Washington went through..Gods providence was definitely at play..no doubt about it..we pray and do everything that is humanly possible..I have faith we will come through this..I just purchased a couple of books tonight both of them about George Washington..Washington's Immortals and the other called The Indispensables by Patrick O'Donnell..reminders of what we have been through before.. we have been through times before where it looked like defeat was at hand...then something happened..to change everything....God is right in the middle of the chaos ..keep the faith 🙏🇺🇸🙏 people are praying and waking up like never before!!!
Oh, I just read this to my husband and we both love that beautiful hope of God's Providence turning the impending doom yet again to hope and freedom. When my kids were in homeschool, we studied George Washington and learned so much about his amazing faith and courage. There is a book called The Bulletproof George Washington (I think that's it). So many great books focusing on his humility and his trust in the Almighty God. Our pastor did a sermon in May about Washington's faith called God In America (Real Life With Jack Hibbs.) Here's the link if you want some awesome encouragement: ua-cam.com/video/kEDdA6VObxc/v-deo.html Thank you, Kathy!!! Gives me that boost of hope this evening.
Thank you for sharing! I am looking for uplighting, positive, truth seeking sites to balance the influx of daily news. I need to listen more to hope centered podcasts and our hope is in Jesus.
I haven't seen any videos on it. I don't now why I get nervous about trying to do one. On the next quilting video, which will be soon because I've finished both the Geese in the Grass and the Christmas Log Cabin and making strides on the basket quilting....I'll try to do some sort of instruction on the way I do the big stitch. It's pretty much just a running stitch with about 1/8 inch or a little larger...stitches with the Valdani pearl cotton size 12. Thanks for asking...it gets me moving towards figuring out how to show my stitching.
I hear you--completely on the same page. Thanks for sharing your point of view! Have you watched any of the programs by Lara Logan? Very insightful. And frightening.
Dear Bonnie, I share your concerns and have the same sadness of the way of our country. I wanted to share that I get my news in faith from the Victory Channel. Specifically, the Flashpoint show on Tuesday and Thursday night. The other is Victory News twice a day. Go directly to their website The Victory Channel. They have been censored from Facebook and UA-cam. They deal with truth in faith. I share your tears but our G God will not be mocked and there will be justice. God bless you and your family.
I do watch The Victory Channel, but hadn't thought of going straight to their website. I also watch and support The Right Side Broadcasting. Thanks for your support and encouragement!!
You are so brave Bonnie! Thank you for speaking up…..I’m with you…..God is with us…..Pray without ceasing! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing your heart's burdens. During all times, but, I think, especially now, we need to be in constant, diligent, unending prayer for our world, our country and all those who do not know Jesus.

ThANK YOU so much Kathy!! My prayer warrior and friend. So many are lifting these terrible situations and these der people up in prayer. It's what we must do! Pray and stitch
Bonnie, you spoke to my heart... the hurt is so real this week. I've cried so much and cried along with you this morning. I'm so grateful to have my faith and to be lifted by your testimony. Thank you so much for all that you share....the beautiful quilting and the raw, emotional hard stuff. May you be lifted up with joyful times this week. I love and needed to hear "joy nevertheless" this morning. Big hugs!

I love your creativity, videos, and your willingness to share your faith. We, too, are committed to praying for the Lord to bring our country through these wicked and trying times. He is faithful, loving, and just to hear and answer our cries for mercy
Amen!! Thank you Diana. I appreciate your encouragement and your reminder that He is faithful!!!
I appreciate you so much Bonnie! Your willingness to share your heart will help so many to stay the course with our faith in Jesus.
Thank you! We are in such tumultuous times now, we have to stay rooted and grounded or we will be carried away by crazy!
God is in control, but he wants us to row for the shore…you are a rower Bonnie and I want to follow your lead! Thank you❤️
Bonnie I also cried along with you and have the same thoughts and concerns as you do. Thank you so much for having the courage to share this with all of us.
Wow I so agree with your views and thoughts about our nation. You sad it well. I pray for peace. Bless you sweet lady. 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing. Their are so many of us that feel the same.
Wow!! You have been super busy!! What glorious quilting!!! I’ve been just as busy, trying to get my mind off of the insanity. It works a lot of the time but it’s always there, the worry and sadness.

Thank you for sharing your quilts and quilting techniques...I love seeing them...God Bless You and us all!
Sweet lady, my heart breaks too. God hears you. He holds your tears as prayers. Your quilts are lovely and inspiring.
I love your quilting videos. You are so sweet.
Dearest Bonnie,
Here in Australia, things are happening that I never believed I would ever see. I teared up as I listened to you, because life is getting tough for Christians and Christian countries. So many scriptures come to mind as I write this, however the one that comes to the fore is Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you”.
He has given us the gift of prayer and to be able to speak with the living God is an awesome privilege.
Please know I will be including you in my prayers and will also pray for a new awakening to the truths of the One True God for America 🇺🇸 and
Australia. 🇦🇺
Let me also say that I so enjoy your floss tubes.
Blessings Gail.💕
I enjoy Sky Australia on UA-cam. Be blessed
As always, I love seeing all the beautiful things you've been working on. Something to remember: Our inputs shape our outlook. We can keep our thoughts focused on those things listed in Phil. 4:8 and refuse to let the enemy enter our minds. I've noticed that the more wicked things get, the brighter the light of Truth shines, and that encourages me. I hope it encourages you, too. ❤
Thank you! Perfect encouragement this morning! So many heartaches and frustrations going on now. Couldn’t fall asleep til 4 this morning. I had to stop the worry by reading Bible AND listening to Bible audio….and stitching!

Bonnie...yes. Just yes. I love your work, but the reason I always watch is for your ending talks. God bless you and yours.
Beautiful work and Bonnie, I look forward to hearing what you have to say at the end of your videos, thank you for sharing so much!
I also have the same thoughts. Thank you for sharing! Love your heart ❤️
I understand your concern because I have them also, I am 77 so I have grandchildren that will be so greatly affected by the way things are going. I am a Christian and I know that even though it doesn’t seem like it at times God is in control. We must just trust in His plan.
Yes, Linda. WE must trust Him and beg for His mercy and his grace. For eyes to open and see the truth. For His will to be done. Thank you.
I want you to know how you inspired me. Last year I kept wanting to do a floss tube/ quilty tube. I knew that I wanted to add God in both of them! I finally started one 3 weeks ago. I do add a word from God in it. I want to add more and will as I do more of them. We need to speak out, cry out to God. He is our Strength and in Him I place my trust! God bless you!

God Bless you! I Absolutely agree with you. Love your quilting videos and Floss tube.
Thank you, Sherry!!!
You never disappoint my friend and my, how far you have come in one year!! Take care of that quilt tattoo🥴
God bless you, God bless the USA 🇺🇲 Keep calm, carry on, and trust in the Good Lord.
Bonnie, In reading these comments, I know we are not alone. Totally agree and grateful for sharing your worries. This is a good vs evil battle and Christians and Jews are targets. We need to speak up. We need to fight for what is right. We need God’s army of angels to fight with us. We must be faith warriors. Don’t even glance at the comments that don’t agree as you. Why did they write that? Just to be mean! That is from the dark side. Sending you peace and prayers.
Our children and I are feeling the same terrible burden of these times as you are. I hope that is a comfort to know that you’re not alone in your distress.

God Bless you. 💖 You are not alone, just keep trusting in our Lord and Saviour. Keep Praying and just remember we are just passing though this sad, sad world. One day we will live in complete peace and joy. So as Christians today we just have to keep praying daily and just let God take over our lives. He is in Control even if there are times we don't think so but He is. For that I'm sure. I choose Joy. 🙏🙏🙏
Linda, thank you, sweet friend!! I am choosing Joy Nevertheless...and praying for God's Will to be done.
Regarding the pink: the only description I can find online is that pinks were called "double pink" during the Civil War. There may be other names but haven't found them yet.
Hi Bonnie :-)) your thoughts on life line up with my belief system..I do believe God is not done pouring his grace out on our great nation though..I feel God's presence and I do believe that even though things look really bleak right now..as it has look at times throughout our history..I think of what Washington went through..Gods providence was definitely at play..no doubt about it..we pray and do everything that is humanly possible..I have faith we will come through this..I just purchased a couple of books tonight both of them about George Washington..Washington's Immortals and the other called The Indispensables by Patrick O'Donnell..reminders of what we have been through before.. we have been through times before where it looked like defeat was at hand...then something happened..to change everything....God is right in the middle of the chaos ..keep the faith 🙏🇺🇸🙏 people are praying and waking up like never before!!!
Oh, I just read this to my husband and we both love that beautiful hope of God's Providence turning the impending doom yet again to hope and freedom. When my kids were in homeschool, we studied George Washington and learned so much about his amazing faith and courage. There is a book called The Bulletproof George Washington (I think that's it). So many great books focusing on his humility and his trust in the Almighty God. Our pastor did a sermon in May about Washington's faith called God In America (Real Life With Jack Hibbs.)

Thank you, Kathy!!! Gives me that boost of hope this evening.
Thank you for sharing! I am looking for uplighting, positive, truth seeking sites to balance the influx of daily news. I need to listen more to hope centered podcasts and our hope is in Jesus.
I love your big stitch quilting would love to watch some tutorials on how to do it. Can you recommend someone . Thank You again for all you do.
I haven't seen any videos on it. I don't now why I get nervous about trying to do one. On the next quilting video, which will be soon because I've finished both the Geese in the Grass and the Christmas Log Cabin and making strides on the basket quilting....I'll try to do some sort of instruction on the way I do the big stitch. It's pretty much just a running stitch with about 1/8 inch or a little larger...stitches with the Valdani pearl cotton size 12. Thanks for asking...it gets me moving towards figuring out how to show my stitching.
I hear you--completely on the same page. Thanks for sharing your point of view! Have you watched any of the programs by Lara Logan? Very insightful. And frightening.
Sister......get your bible and pray Psalm 91 over yourself and your family. God bless you and yours!!!! You are not alone.
Dear Bonnie, I share your concerns and have the same sadness of the way of our country. I wanted to share that I get my news in faith from the Victory Channel. Specifically, the Flashpoint show on Tuesday and Thursday night. The other is Victory News twice a day. Go directly to their website The Victory Channel. They have been censored from Facebook and UA-cam. They deal with truth in faith. I share your tears but our G God will not be mocked and there will be justice. God bless you and your family.
I do watch The Victory Channel, but hadn't thought of going straight to their website. I also watch and support The Right Side Broadcasting. Thanks for your support and encouragement!!
