“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

Tuesday APRON DAY......and quilter's meeting

Just one today..... 
I prepared this one and worked on it
at the quilter's get-together, so I didn't
throw off my "apron-day" schedule.

When I finished that, I lay out all my hexagons
and made my arrangement for
my Bible bookcover.

This is one of the tops that was brought to show and share.  Actually, it's a very informal gathering, where we just come in, pull us up a table and go to work on whatever we've brought.  If there's a lull in conversation, one of us will show something that we've been working on.  They just loved Autumn Taylor's dotted quilt.

I got a letter from my brother, Richard, today.  He's the only brother that I haven't actually seen since returning here after my 32 year absence.  We've been writing to each other, as he doesn't drive, and hardly uses their cell-phone.  Today when I opened his letter, I found that he had enclosed a photo of himself that had been taken at Thanksgiving.  I was so excited to see what he looks like after all these years.  I've GOT to make plans to visit him soon........he's only about an hour and a half away, I think.  He helps his wife make quilts every summer, when she's not teaching school !

I also spoke to the lady for whom I'm making the latest baby quilt.  She was really excited to hear that it's nearly finished.  She was wishing the baby to hurry, and I told her, "NO, no !  The baby can take his time......the quilt WILL WAIT !"

  2. Lol, the sock monkey in your blog header today just made my day!! I love it :)

    Just got caught up on reading all of your posts that I missed. I love today's apron, it's so colorful.
    And your bible cover is going to be lovely. (I lost both of my bibles in our home disaster, but will be ordering new ones soon.)When things get back to normal around here I may try making a cover too.

    I am so glad you reconnected with your brother, and it's very cool that he helps his wife quilt!!!
