“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

Michigan baby quilt finished !

If you remember, I made a quilt for my cousins first grandson, and another family member, attending the shower, called me to request that I make the same design for her grandson who is due in October.

I know it looks alot like the first one, but then it's supposed to !
Actually, though, this one finishes just a bit smaller.
Approximately 33 inches square.  I think the other one
must have been more like 35 inches.
The small difference in the size of the inner square
made a really big difference in the flower
pattern of the corner triangles.  I couldn't fit
quite as much of the fleur de lis stencil.
Once again, I used a cotton flannel fabric for the back,
this time in tan.
I continue to measure my bindings, just as if I were
adding another border.  This is working
much better than the old days
when I just started sewing
at one end, and lopped off the excess
at the other.
