“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6


“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. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"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

I found a really great giveaway......

....great for us quilters and knitters, especially, because we can win something really different from what we ourselves create !

The giveaway is here and the prize is this painting........oh, aren't you glad that Spring is finally here, and doesn't this painting just make you take a deep restful breath !  You can almost smell the blooms.
The drawing will be on April 10th and you have a chance at as many as 3 entries, so go and have a look for yourself if you like !

Tomorrow I get to watch Alyssia again for a few hours, and maybe after that, I'll get the chance to baste the hexagon-appliqued quilt.  I pieced together yardage for the back today (out of necessity, not design.......it's all one print) and cut out the batting piece.  I didn't have a single piece of cotton batting large enough without piecing, but I found that I had an entire full-sized polyester batt, so I'm going to use part of it.  It'll make a really soft lap quilt.......could be a nice change from my norm.   It should hand-quilt like a dream, too.

Praise for my LORD for the way he moves in my daily life........he cares about the little things that can often add up to seem like mountains.  We had borrowed a lift chair to use after hubby's hip surgery, and it quit working a few days ago.  I tried everything I could think of , and today, after confessing to the owner that it was messed up and I would try to pay to have it fixed, it miraculously started working again !  AND we received discounts on two of the nagging medical bills, allowing us to face them with a smile.  He supplies ALL OUR NEEDS ......... and I ADORE him !
