“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

Finished little Christmas quilt

Hopefully, these will be the last photos I share of this little quilt.  I've started to feel like I just keep this blog so that I can receive compliments on my work.  Forgive me if it seems that way.  I only want to share my progress and my creative outlet, as I said before, missing my "in-person" quilting friends as I do.  Also, this absolutely serves as my journal to look back on to see what I was doing with this time of my life.
Having said that, this is the best photo I could get of the entire quilt, and yet, I still cut off some of it around the edges.
 And here's the back........it doesn't photograph well.  In person, it is quite scrumptious, with a wonderful happy feeling of red and white.......kind of like a Christmas candy cane.
 Here's my best out-of-doors shot.

And then, there's these.  Everyday when we walk, my husband and I are in awe of this big, gorgeous tree.  It's red on one side, and yellow and orange on the other.  He kept wanting a photo, and we almost waited too late.  Today when he saw that the leaves were gone already out of the very top, he insisted that we drive back down and grab a couple of photos.  I'm really glad that he did.  I love that man AND our walks, and Wow, the LORD sure paints a pretty picture !

The last of the beauties on our street.


No, this isn't my house, but I get to enjoy this beauty everyday !

    Hi Dolly: I came over from "A Few Scraps". I love how you have embraced the free motion quilt along. Your little quilt came out so nice. I love your feathers--that is what I want to ultimately be able to do too. I read some of your blog and you are my kind of quilt blogger, so you have a new follower. :)
