Thanks for stopping by!! This is my second entry in the <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/">Spring Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side</a>. Here is my "Harper Girl" quilt. I created it for a dear friend's new baby, Harper. I was inspired by this Union Jack Panel from Riley Blake Designs as Harper's mommy loves all thing British.<br />
<br />

The quilt measures 30"x39". The letters are machine appliquéd and the quilting is by machine as well. To read more about the quilt or instructions on how to make your own, click <a href="http://jedicraftgirl.blogspot.com/2014/04/riley-blake-union-jack-quilt-tutorial.html">here</a>.<br />

Thanks for stopping by! I am entering this quilt in the Spring Bloggers Quilt Festival over at <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/2014/05/16/bloggers-quilt-festival-spring-2014/">Amy's Creative Side</a>. I recently created this quilt called "<a href="http://jedicraftgirl.blogspot.com/2014/03/bunny-bricks-quilt-tutorial.html">Bunny Bricks</a>" and it's one of my favorite. I just can't get enough of those appliqué bunnies! </div>

The quilt measures 38" x 54". The fabric I adore - It's called <a href="http://shop.annagriffin.com/quilt-fabrics/anna-griffin/grace.html">Grace</a> from Anna Griffin. I machine appliquéd the bunnies and machine quilted the quilt.</div>

Today I am sharing my tutorial for a zippered sunglasses case over on the <a href="http://thermoweb.com/blog/sunglasses-zipper-pouch-tutorial/" target="_blank">Therm O Web Blog</a>. What is great about this zipper pouch is the lining is made of flannel so it is soft on the lenses. I love this fabric - it's the "blue" version of the <a href="http://shop.annagriffin.com/quilt-fabrics/blend-fabrics/clementine-by-ana-davis.html" target="_blank">Clementine</a> fabric by Blend. It screams summer to me.</div>

For the zipper pull, I took apart some owl earrings and used a split ring to attach the owl to the zipper pull. I always am on the look-out for cheap dangly earrings!<br />

I have had it in my mind to make these "Bread Blankets" for sometime. I bake a lot of bread, rolls, and especially our secret family recipe Orange Rolls. I like to cover my rising dough with a light weight flour sack towel. The white towels are so plain and boring, so I decided to embellish the towels. The <a href="http://www.blendfabrics.com/gallery/clementine" target="_blank">Clementine</a> fabric from Blend lends itself so well to my orange roll making - so I knew I wanted an orange on the towel. Since the recipe is my mother-in-law's, I decided to send her one of these Bread Blankets for Mother's Day. </div>

Today's Mother's Day Tutorial is this cute Citrus inspired Churn Dash Table Quilt. I made this little quilt for my mom (I hope she doesn't read my blog between now and Mother's Day!) My mom is always asking me if I have a little quilt she can put on her table to decorate with and in my parent's backyard are lemon, orange, and lime trees - sooooo when I saw this <a href="http://shop.annagriffin.com/quilt-fabrics/blend-fabrics/clementine-by-ana-davis.html" target="_blank">Clementine</a> fabric from Blend I freaked out!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so in love with this fabric - I want to rip out all my kitchen decor and replace with these fabrics. Here is a little close up of some of the prints I used in this quilt.</div>

Press toward the dark. These half square triangle blocks finish slightly larger than the desired 6 1/2". This is so you can square the block up and it is nice and even. Lay it on a rotary mat and align the diagonal with the diagonal line on the mat and cut so it measures 6 1/2" square. Do this to each of the 4 blocks.</div>

These cute zipper pouches are a darling gift to give someone special this Mother's Day. This tutorial is written by my good friend Jennifer. Jennifer is the one who takes me on crazy adventures to find fabric all over Southern California. She is an amazing sewist and writes a blog called <a href="http://jennifersewsagain.blogspot.com/2013/08/full-access-zip-bag-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Jennifer Sews Again</a>. </div>

I took one of those sticky discs that you put on the bottom of chairs and cut it in half and adhered it to my pliers - this will prevent scratching on the hardware. Fold the Keychain in half matching raw ends. Center the hardware and use the pliers to press in place.</div>

I am in love with this dress! The fabrics are called <a href="http://shop.annagriffin.com/quilt-fabrics/blend-fabrics/maisie-by-maude-asbury.html" target="_blank">Maisie</a> from Anna Griffin. They are so fun and whimsical! This dress is the perfect dress to sew if you are like me and collect fabric in 1/4 or 1/2 yard increments. I rarely go fabric shopping and purchase 3 yards of every fabric I love. <br />
<br />
To make this dress you need a peasant dress bodice pattern - or make your own. I like to wait until the patterns are $1 at JoAnn's fabric then I go crazy! Peasant dresses are perfect if you want a fast way to construct a dress - no buttons or zippers or lining - Yippee! Follow the directions on the pattern for the bodice. I used ones print for the bodice and a different print for the sleeves. <br />
<br />
Here are the measurements for the skirt. This is for a size 6-8 girls.<br />
<br />
Collect 10 fabrics you want for the skirt. Cut them 8.5" x 20" and sew them together like this:<br />
(<i>forgive the photo, it was about 11:30 at night in my mom's kitchen!</i>)<br />

There will be 5 fabrics on the front and 5 on the back. Sew with 1/4" seams and then zig zagged each seam to prevent fraying - time consuming yes. Sew the rectangles together to form a giant circle that will be the skirt. Press seams to one direction. Sew a gathering stitch along the top of the skirt piece and fit it into the bodice matching side seams. Sew along gathering stitch, zig zag, then press.<br />

For the bottom ruffle, cut (4) 3 1/2" x WOF strips. Sew them together end to end, press the seams. Sew a rolled hem on one of the edges. I cheated and used my gathering foot - hoping I would not run out of ruffle - it worked! This saved time because as I didn't have to fit the ruffle into the skirt - I could use the ruffle like trim instead. The ruffle foot is one of my favorites! I had to make a little seam on the side where the 2 ends of the ruffle meet - but it blends in OK. After the ruffle is sewn on, press the ruffle and top stitch. <br />

Below I have the number and corresponding items and scriptures. (you could also place a little treat in each one.) Place them inside the eggs. Hide the 12 eggs.<br />
<br />
Have the children find the 12 eggs. Open the egg and read each scripture beginning with egg #1. This will take you through the Easter story. There are pictures to go with just about every scripture. Click <a href="http://www.lds.org/media-library/images/gospel-art/new-testament?lang=eng&start=11&end=20#triumphant-entry-39581" target="_blank">HERE</a> for the pictures. The scriptures began with Christ's entry into Jerusalem.</div>

For the past 16 years it is a tradition in our family to make "Resurrection Rolls." I didn't come up with this recipe - it's one of those things that gets passed around. I am still amazed how everyone marvels at how the marshmallow disappears! Click <a href="http://jedicraftgirl.blogspot.com/2013/03/day-13-resurrection.html" target="_blank">here</a> for instructions.<br />

We also love to dye Easter Eggs. Nothing fancy, nothing I'm going to "pin" - just good old fashioned eggs and dye! It never gets old. This is a good time to talk about the symbols of Easter. Sometimes its hard for children to know what eggs and bunnies have to do with Easter. While you are dying your eggs, you can have a little review:</div>

<i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Easter Bunny</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many different theories…..Spring celebrates new life as did Jesus' resurrection. Rabbits are one of the many animals born in the spring and they also have lots of offspring during this time of year. The rabbit burrows deep under ground and when he emerges from his burrow, it can represent Jesus leaving the tomb.</div>

<i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Eggs</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In many cultures eggs are the symbol of life and Jesus gave everyone Eternal Life through His Atonement and Resurrection. Eggs were died Red in memory of Christ's blood, eggs are rolled symbolic of the stone being rolled from the tomb,</div>

<i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Lamb</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This comes from the Jewish Passover where a lamb was sacrificed in each family. Christ became the Passover Lamb for everyone and so the lamb became a symbol for His sacrifice.</div>

<b>Lesson: </b><br />
We needed a Savior because Heavenly Father knew that when we came to Earth we would sin. When we sin and don't repent, we cannot live with Heavenly Father again. We needed someone to save us so we can live with Heavenly Father again. Jesus volunteered to be our Savior and come to Earth and teach us, atone for our sins, and be crucified so we can live with Heavenly Father again.<br />

On each piece, write a way that Jesus helped save us. These can include:<br />
He went through the Atonement and saved us from our sins.<br />
He was crucified and died to save us from death.<br />
He taught us about the Sacrament.<br />
He was a perfect example.<br />
He taught us to be kind.<br />
He taught us to serve.<br />
He taught us to repent.<br />
He taught us to forgive.<br />
<br />
Put the puzzle together and talk about each way Jesus saves us.<br />

Hi! I'm Melanie from <a href="http://www.ldshandouts.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">LDS Handouts</a><span style="text-align: center;">. I'm super excited to take part in the event. I started my blog so I could share my handouts I was making for Young Women with others. Since then, it has expanded to a whole bunch of different free handouts. I live in Idaho with my awesome husband and 4 children, ages 11, 8, 5, and 2.</span><br />
<br />
I picked The Parable of the Sower because I love parables!! I love the way Jesus taught-by using things that were familiar to the people of the time. I have taken this parable and presented it in a way that I would do it for my family. Enjoy!<br />
<br />

Parable of the Ten Virgins, Day 11<br />
<br />
To begin the lesson, watch this short video <i>Christ Like Attributes </i>- it's also found <a href="https://www.lds.org/youth/video/christlike-attributes?lang=eng" target="_blank">HERE</a>. It is such a beautiful overview of what we have been learning these last 10 days. <br />

<i>Jesus often taught using familiar objects and situations to teach a spiritual truth; called parables. The parable of the ten virgins teaches us about the second coming of Jesus Christ and how we can prepare. </i></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I thought both these lessons were perfect references to teach your children about this parable:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Lesson from Sugardoodle click <a href="http://www.sugardoodle.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6348" target="_blank">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Ten Virgins lesson click <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/primary-7-new-testament/lesson-25-parable-of-the-ten-virgins?lang=eng" target="_blank">HERE</a></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Once you've gone over the parable, have the family act out the story so it comes to life. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Now talk about the hidden spiritual truth in this story. Who are the 10 Virgins? Who is the Bridegroom? What is the oil? What is the marriage?</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I liked <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx_Rhi3AGME&feature=related" target="_blank">this music video</a> on youtube depicting people living righteously and putting oil in their lamps.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Have the children cut out the drops of oil and a lamp. (I had to make them colorful, it's Easter!!) They can write on each drop of oil what they are doing to prepare for Jesus to come again. Glue them in your journals. In the Sugardoodle lesson, there are instructions on how to make this lamp out of a paper plate.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Because of Him, death is not the end, and life takes on new meaning. We can change, we can start over—and we can live again with God. This Easter, celebrate His life and discover all that’s possible because of Him.</span></span><br />

Show your posts to your children so they can see the photos you post each day.<br />
<br />
For younger children who don't have social media accounts, encourage or help them draw pictures relating to the day's topic, or print out pictures and hang them up in your home. I have made these little printables with the topic for each day and they can write something or draw a picture. You could even take a picture of their picture and text it to Gramma and Grandpa! <br />

Hi! I'm Heather Lynne from <a href="http://www.raisingmemories.com/">Raising Memories</a>. I blog about fun things parents can do with and for their kids and like to throw in some photography posts, giveaways, and other fun things for moms. I'm so happy to be visiting Amanda's blog today to share a fun lesson idea with you! (Thank you so much for having me, Amanda!)</center>

<b>Preparation:</b><br />
<i>As I Have Loved You</i> would be a great song to start with. You can listen to it <a href="https://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/love-one-another?lang=eng">here</a>.
You can also find lyrics and piano music at that link.<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson:</b><br />
Start by giving each member of the family a couple of slips of paper & something to write with. Ask them to write down something that someone could do for them that would help them. They should put their name on the paper, fold it, and put it into the box or bowl. (If children are too young to write, they can draw a picture of their thing and a parent can write an explanation by the picture)
Read John 13:15 "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Explain that Jesus is our example. He loved and served others by doing things for them to help them. He healed people, He blessed people, and He helped people. He loves all people.
Explain that when we do something for someone else it usually makes us love them more.
Ask family members to share stories of times when someone did something for them that made them feel happy. Also ask for stories of times they did something nice for someone else and then felt more love for that person.
Family members can now choose to draw as many slips of paper as they wish from the bowl or box and do that service idea for the person who wrote it down. You can follow up with them later to see how it made them feel to help someone else.<br />
<br />
<b>Activity:</b><br />
For the activity, you're going to do something nice for someone else! This is something that will help them to celebrate the real reason for Easter. Together, assemble the 12 eggs with the bible verses and items outlined in <a href="http://www.howdoesshe.com/simple-easter-countdown/">this post</a> and then go to someone's house and hide the eggs in their yard. Leave the "You've Been Egged" note on their door, ring the doorbell, and run! :)
You can talk about the real meaning behind Easter as you are assembling the eggs at home, too :)<br />

I'm happy to be here to talk about something that is very near and dear to my heart-Jesus Christ and his example of Charity and Love. If there's one topic that I get most excited about when talking about Christ, it's that one. I love what he taught us about loving others and I love to teach my kids the same.
I've put together a short and simple lesson to help your children learn more about Jesus Christ and his example of Charity to those he met. Do what works best for your family...and enjoy!
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lesson:</span></strong>
Start off by watching 1-2 of these Bible videos about the life of Jesus. I recommend:
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/ye-have-done-it-unto-me?lang=eng" target="_blank">Ye Have Done It Unto Me </a>(Matthew 25:31-46)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/whosoever-will-lose-his-life-for-my-sake-shall-find-it?lang=eng" target="_blank">Whosoever Will Lose His Life for My Sake Shall a Find</a> (Matthew 16:21–28)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/the-greatest-commandment?lang=eng" target="_blank">The Greatest Commandment</a> (Mark 12:28-34)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/parable-of-the-good-samaritan?lang=eng" target="_blank">The Good Samaritan</a> (Luke 10:25-37)</li>
</ul>
Then talk about the principles taught in those videos.
Reread the scriptures and talk about what they mean and how you can apply them to life today.
What does it mean that "ye have done it unto me?" How does that translate into the life of a 6 year old? A 10 year old? A teenage? Talk about how they can show love to others in their life.
Talk about some specific examples of how they can show charity and Christlike love in their lives. Have them take a few minutes to write their ideas in their journal.
If your family is like mine, one of the biggest areas to work on in showing love is in the home. Talk about how you can show love to each other better.
For us, it all boils down to some simple words, which my boys hear out of my mouth every single day and in most of my prayers as well-Be Kind!
To help them remember, I've made some cute little printable handouts for them. Click to open them, then right click and save and then print them and have each person place one somewhere that will remind them each day to be kind to others: (I made several colors so take your pick!)

Share with your family WHY charity, love and kindness matter to you.
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Activity (and Treat!):</span></strong>
One thing my family loves to do together is to get out and spread the love. So, for an activity tonight, take your family and go do something nice for someone. Here are a few simple ideas to get you started thinking:
<br />
<ul>
<li>Take treats to someone. You can even ding dong ditch them if you want to make it really fun!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Go through a drive thru and pay for the person behind you. (When we did this the lady at the drive thru said someone earlier had done the same thing and then one car after another paid for the person behind them and it lasted for about 10 cars. So cool.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take a treat and a thank you card to the local fire station or police station</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Leave quarters on vending machines</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Leave dollars in the dollar spot at Target or at the dollar store</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take flowers to a nursing home</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Make lunches and hand them out to homeless people</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Find a beggar on a corner and give him money</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Serve a meal at a food bank</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Send money to someone in need</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Put together a package for service men and women</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Write thank you notes to people who make a difference in your life</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Make a meal for someone in need (just had a baby, someone's been sick, etc.)</li>
</ul>

<strong> </strong>
There's tons of things you can do! Just pick some simple acts of kindness and do them. I've also created a printable tag that you can leave if it fits with your service. Kind of a pay it forward idea:
<br />
One idea we do a lot is simply to make cookies and take them to a friend, a new neighbor, someone with a birthday, etc. It's simple, but it makes people happy!
Here is our favorite cookie recipe. This will also make a great treat for your family night:

Lesson # 7 Christ-like Attributes: Patience</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i>Preparation</i>: Purchase a large bag of candy (M&Ms, Skittles, Gumi Bears, etc.) Put a few in a bowl and set them out at the beginning of the lesson. Tell your family if they wait and don't eat the candy in the bowl, they can have a better reward later. Wrap or tie a bow on the large bag and reward it at the end of the lesson.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">What is Patience?</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Patience is the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated, or anxious. It is the ability to do God's will and accept His timing. Patience is related to Hope and faith; you must wait for the Lord's promised blessings to be fulfilled; </span><span style="background-color: white;">Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best - better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than his. Either way we are questioning the reality of God’s omniscience.</span></span></center>

He was patient with his disciples, including the Twelve, despite their lack of faith and their slowness to recognize and understand his divine mission. He was patient with the multitudes as they pressed about him, with the woman taken in sin, with those who sought his healing power, and with little children. Finally, he remained patient through the sufferings of his mock trials and his crucifixion. - Joseph B. Wirthlin</span></span></center>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: start;">Testify to your family that patience is one way we come to be more Christlike.

Easter is a special time in our home, and this year I am making a concentrated effort to help my children understand why it is that we truly celebrate Easter. It is such a neat time to learn about the last week of Christ's life spent ministering on Earth. There is so much symbolism to be found... </div>
<i>Spring</i> (newness of life),
<i>the Sun</i> (Jesus is the light of the world),
<i>Easter Grass</i> (mortality doesn't last forever, it withers like the grass, Christ offers Eternal Life),
<i>Easter Eggs</i> (newness of life, resurrection),
<i>Lambs</i> (Lamb of God, Good Shepherd),
<i>Flowers</i> (many important events happened in gardens- the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the Atonement in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Resurrection in the Garden of the Empty Tomb).
In this blog post, I am focusing on the Easter Lily, and how it relates to the phrase, "He is Risen."

<span style="font-size: x-large;">LESSON: EASTER LILY</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

Lilies are Easter flowers because they teach and remind us of Christ in 3 ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>1. Consider the Lilies of the Field- Faith in Christ</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While Jesus lived on the earth, he taught, through the imagery of lilies, about having faith in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Him: “And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: …Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? …for your heavenly Father knoweth </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:28, 30-33. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we see the lilies, we can remember that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know us, and they know our needs. When we have faith in Jesus Christ, He will provide for us in all that we need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>2. Bulbs to Blooms- Burial to Resurrection</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lilies are flowers that grow from bulbs. Bulbs stay buried in the ground all winter, and in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
spring blossom forth with beautiful life. Jesus was buried in a tomb for three days, and then </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
came forth in a perfect form, having immortal life. Lilies remind us of this miracle and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
symbolize the hope we have of everlasting life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and provided a way for all of us to rise again after we die. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>3. Trumpet Ushers in the Second Coming of Christ</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lilies are shaped like what instrument? (trumpets) “In the scriptures, trumpets are used to sound warnings, proclaim news, and herald visitors. Moroni holds a horn to his lips with his right hand, symbolizing both the spreading of the gospel throughout the world and the long-anticipated Second Coming of the Savior, which will be announced by trumpet-blowing angels” (“Looking Up to Moroni” by Wendy Kenney, November 2009 New Era). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The trumpet shape of the lily reminds us that trumpets will herald (announce) the second coming of Christ.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Matthew 24:31 “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Joel 2:1 “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand.” </div>

<span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; line-height: 26.66666603088379px;">My topic is <b>Jesus is Our Foundation</b>. As I was looking for ideas I came across an old article from the New Era titled <a href="https://www.lds.org/new-era/2001/10/storm-warning?lang=eng">'Storm Warning' from Elder Neil L. Andersen</a>.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; line-height: 26.66666603088379px;">In Elder Andersen's article he talked about spiritual tornadoes and shared an experience of an actual tornado</span><span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; line-height: 26.66666603088379px;"> (he just shared this same experience during this General Conference)</span><span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; line-height: 26.66666603088379px;">.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 26.66666603088379px;">He talked about spiritual tornadoes and that we need to be built on a sure foundation if we are going to withstand these spiritual tornadoes. I knew my kiddos would love a lesson on 'tornadoes' so I got to work and this is what I came up with!</span></span></center>

with our <a href="http://mormon.org/family"><span style="color: #2f393a; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">family</span></a>. During our time
there, a powerful and potent tornado touched down. While hurricanes are common

<span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";">I read one experience of a woman in her mobile home. As she
heard the winds approaching, she went into her bathroom and crouched down on
the floor hoping to avoid injury. She felt her trailer shake, she was jostled
around, and then everything was quiet. As she crouched motionless in her
bathroom, she heard the voice of her neighbor who lived approximately 50 yards
away from her. The voice said, “I am here in the front room.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was looking for her. She soon, however, was very surprised to find that was not
the case at all, but that the winds had lifted, carried, and landed her trailer
upright on the top of her neighbor’s trailer. She had not realized it, but her
trailer had been flying through the air. Her neighbor was actually below her,
in the neighbor’s own mobile home.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

interesting to see all the efforts made to securely hold the house in place.
First a giant hole is dug, and the footers for the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="highlight"><span id="searchQueryTerm">foundation</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>are
placed deep...into the ground. Steel rods run through the yards and yards of
cement that form the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="highlight">foundation</span>. With each adjoining part of the
house, metal and steel is used to ensure that each part of the house is
attached firmly to the other, and that all is tied securely into the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="highlight">foundation</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and footers. Every effort is made so that

Hello! It's Ginger from <a href="http://www.gingersnapcrafts.com/" target="_blank">Ginger Snap Crafts</a>! I am so excited to be participating in the 14 Days of Christ series! I think it's a wonderful thing to do with your family this Easter season! :) Speaking of family ~ I have a fun, wild & crazy one that's for sure! ha! ;) My husband & I have 5 beautiful & active children ages 16 to 4. They sure do keep it interesting around here. :) Over on <a href="http://www.gingersnapcrafts.com/" target="_blank">my blog</a> I share fun crafts, easy recipes, organization tips & more.<br />

One of our favorite spring time traditions (that we have done several times over the years) is to hatch eggs in an incubator. We usually hatch chickens, but this year we have some turkey eggs in our incubator! I'll have to do an update on our turkey chicks on my blog in about 28 days or so. </div>

We also use this tradition to teach our kiddos about the wonderful creations that Jesus has made for us. We talk about how much <b>Jesus loves them</b>, and how he has created this beautiful world full of wonderful things just for us. It's amazing to see one of Heavenly Father's creations up close. It's so fun watching my kiddos seeing the miracle of life. We still laugh when we think about my youngest daughter asking, "How did that chicken get in the egg?" She just couldn't figure that one out! haha! ;)</div>

I know many of you probably aren't able to hatch your own chicks but maybe you could take your kiddos to a petting zoo, classroom or farm that has some chicks hatching. It really is an amazing thing to watch. You can also find lots of fun egg hatching videos online, too. I've included a link to a super cool hatching video below along with some other fun activities to go along with the <b>Jesus Loves Me </b>theme for today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Today's Activity:</b><br />
<br />
Watch this <a href="http://www.msichicago.org/online-science/videos/video-detail/activities/the-hatchery/" target="_blank">video of chicks hatching</a> or visit a petting zoo or farm. :)<br />
<br />
Talk about how Jesus created the animals for us. Tell them that Jesus created the world, plants, animals & our families for us because he loves us. You could also talk about why we color Easter eggs & hunt eggs at Easter. Eggs symbolize new life & are a symbol of Christ's resurrection.<br />

Lesson</span>:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Begin the lesson by turing off all the lights, or going into a dark room. Have a discussion about light and darkness. What types of physical light do we need in our life (sun, flashlight, light bulbs, candles, headlights, night light, moon, etc.) ? How do you feel in the dark? Do you remember a time you were afraid of the dark? </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
One by one, light the tea lights in each person's lantern and notice how the light gets brighter with each light.</center>

There may be times when you feel detached—even isolated—from the Giver of every good gift.” For these times, he reminded us that “we were not placed on this earth to walk alone. … He will be there for us to provide help if we but ask. Two ways we can find comfort: as we remember prayer and take time to turn to the scriptures, our lives will be infinitely more blessed and our burdens will be made lighter.” <i>Thomas S.

Iron the Heat n Bond lite to the back of your appliqué fabric. I used the Sizzix bunny die for the bunnies. The folk art tulip pattern can be downloaded <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/6q1aisv1fhywwca/tulip%20pattern.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Once you have cut out your appliqué pieces, center them on the pillow front. Iron to set in place and stitch around each piece twice with black thread.<br />

Cut the pom poms the width of the pillow and baste them into place.<br />

For the pillow back…..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are a few options to finish the pillow:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. You can cut the back piece the same size as the front, sew it, turn it, stuff with fiber fill and hand stitch the opening closed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I used a pillow form and put an invisible zipper in the bottom portion of the back. I cut 2 pieces for the back: 20" x 2" and 20" x 2. Set the invisible zipper joining the two pieces. For invisible zipper tutorial, click <a href="http://jedicraftgirl.blogspot.com/2013/04/sewing-invisible-zipper-tutorial.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pin the back to the front with right sides together, making sure zipper is open. My back was a touch larger then the front, so I just trimmed off the excess. Make sure to tuck those pom pons in so they don't get caught in the seam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sew all the way around the pillow using 1/2" seam. Turn and insert pillow form.</div>
