“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

So close !

Now, I quilt  !    Now, when the weather decides to prematurely jump up into the 80's, I quilt ! 
Oh, well, whatcha gonna do?  I am so close to finishing that monster, I just have to sneak time in on it when I feel like it.  This is the last hoopful of muslin-border-quilting.   Somebody give me an idea for those blasted big swags.....it's so hard to see the marking or the quilting on them.   Maybe I'll just echo the quarter-inch quilting I've already done on them............BORING !

Thank you for all the sweet comments on my grandkids.  Alas, I wish they HAD been HERE for Easter, but those pictures were shared with me by the wonderful OTHER grandmother, in Oklahoma.  They went to her house and she always does such fun things for their visits .   It appears that she had bunnies hiding in the clover along with the expected eggs ! 
Hopefully, I'll get a turn with the kids again this summer ! 

God blesses us so much that I couldn't even ask for more !  Let's all remember those families that have been touched by the tragic mine explosion.  They have a touching Faith, and as their brothers and sisters in the Kingdom, we can send them prayers of encouragement and comfort.

    I was wondering if they were there with you but thought I would have heard...Was confused how you got pictures so fast :) But now I understand... (I was a delinquent daughter with young kids pictures to my mom so I know about these things :)

    For quilting...I think the swags just need the 1/4 inch and maybe one or 2 curves to echo the shape that's it. The depth of the other quilting needs some open areas in the patterned swag areas. Just one person's opinion.

    This quilt is such an inspiration! And a testimony to your perseverance.

    The grandkids were awfully cute and how nice to have another grandma who shares such cute pictures!

    Praying for the miners and their family!
