“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

Day FOUR, more color !

Starting to get a nice little pile of colory eye-candy now ! 
 
Today, I must have gotten alot of other stuff done, because I don't see alot of piecing here !
But, I got the blue flower print blocks made, penciled out the blue spatter print, ready for tomorrow's sewing adventure, and marked a couple extra in each fabric, to help fill out the extra row I'm piecing.  
I also got all the rest of the sawtooth border's triangles pieced and all of them pressed.  Tomorrow will hopefully see them being trimmed to perfection.

In addition, today I cut out all of the alternate blocks, half from each of two fabrics.   And looking ahead, it looks like I will have just enough fabric for everything.

I don't know exactly WHAT else I did today, (let's see, there was laundry, mowing and gardening, sweeping, dishes, dinner, running to town.......) but whatever it was, it has knocked me out !  I almost waited too late to post tonight, that's how tired I am.

I truly think part of it is from finally talking to my grandbabies today.  I MISS THEM SO MUCH ! 
Zoe sounds like a little adult, and T.J. just makes me want to reach through the phone and pull him to me when he says, "Nana, I wish you could sleep here tonight."  I want my babies........I could hear Seth in the background crying, and hear him quiet down the moment daddy picked him up.  I want that to be me quieting him just a couple of times, too.

Well, GOD has a plan and a purpose for it all, doesn't he?  I just wish I hadn't complained so much when I had the babies living with me.  I am so thankful now for the time I had those babies around.

I'm tired, and I'm turning in.  Night, all.

    Hi girl! This is the first day I've had time to go online for a while, just read all your posts that I missed. You are making great progress on this quilt and it looks like fun! Great colors you're working with too.

    I love the his and hers aprons in your other post, that is too sweet:)

    I hope it's not too long till you get to see your darling grandbabies.
