“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Fun mail !

You can just imagine how many bills fill my mailbox lately, with hubby having had his hip surgery in February, so anything that breaks up the monotony of that is a welcome relief.

But this was extra fun............

I've seen these fabric postcards mentioned online but never received or sent one myself.  What a fun little treasure to receive !  Thanks, Wanda Gayle !

Following Leslie's lead, I'd like to mention my favorite quilt-making notion.............binding clips !  They're basically just the plain version of hair clips, but they ended the self-induced acupuncture I used to endure while binding a quilt that was pinned with straight pins............don't wanna ever go back to THAT !  You just turn the folded edge to the back of the quilt and secure it every 2 inches or so with a clip, rather than with a pin.

    Glad you liked the post card!
    I was just thinking about that butterfly quilt. It was such fun to make that I ended up making the "pattern" twice! (rare for me). This one for Zoe and a yellow background for a young cousin in Michigan. I have lots of bright scraps left...maybe need to make another one. But not starting any new projects yet... :)
    Hope your day is great!

    What fun to have in your mailbox. The boys always ask if there's anything in the mail for them. I say, "Only if you want to pay the bills." For some reason, they never say "Yes."

    LOL
