Content Quilt Block — Live Well Live Strong Quilt

Content Quilt Block — Women’s Health & Wellness Quilt

 
“To be content doesn’t mean you don’t desire more,

it means you’re thankful for what you have and patient for what’s to come.”
― Tony Gaskins

How can contentment spark joy in your life?  Let’s talk about it!

“There is no happier person than a truly thankful content person.” 
― Joyce Meyer

It improves our health as women to feel contentment & peace. There is a balance between settling & content right? But feeling content with our lives right now is important. Content with who we are, what we have learned & where we hope to be going.

“To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.”

– Marcus Tullius Cicero Kushandwizdom

I designed the content quilt block to look like an abstract blooming flower. Contentment is your natural wealth – relish every moment. If we are constantly wanting more we will never be satisfied. I’m so content and it just makes me happy. It takes a burden off my shoulders. I’m content with my hubby just exactly as he is! I’m content with my kids & how hard they have worked in life. We are definitely not perfect by any means. I’m content with my home, I’m content with my possessions. What do we really need? I’m even content with how much fabric I have.

The Content Quilt Block is the 15th week on our Live Well Live Strong Quilt Sew Along!  Remember you can join in on the sew along anytime or make the Live Well Live Strong Quilt at your own pace.

You can see how I tried to quilt the Content Quilt Block so it looks like the flower I imagined! tehe…

We live with so much excess! I mean a lot of excess! You know how we can feel really wealthy? Just quietly sit & hand stitch. Talk about wealth – wealth for time to luxuriate and bask in something so indulgent. If I ever feel like I’m missing out, hand stitching something makes me feel peace! How do you feel contentment? Its not settling. It’s focusing on what we do have. And when we get right down to it, we have an awful lot.

There are many Content Activities that you can do.  On the worksheet below, I’m introducing you a couple of my favorites. Most importantly we need to focus on our blessings. There is a Content Worksheet to download below. Your assignment is to fill out the entire sheet with things you are grateful for. Yes….. the entire sheet.
