“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

 I've finished piecing my first little quilt top of the year. 

I'm not happy.  The size is more useful, I suppose, but I liked it better last night, when it had no borders. 

But when I told hubby, last night, that, no, it wasn't going to be any bigger, he LAUGHED. 
Now, I SHOULD  be stronger-willed than to have changed it, but I guess this proves that I'm not.........YET.  Borders are removable, aren't they?  I mean, it's not like he probably thinks that THIS is a usable size either ! 

I just wanted to see the little plus quilt in front of my eyes......it pleased me.   What still pleases me is the fact that this little top is made up primarily from three gifts sent to me from Jodie Ann.....a Moda scrapbag of strips, fabrics for my birthday, and fabrics for my Christmas present. 

This is the center portion of my quilt.


And this is the workup I did before with EQ5.  I wanted to compare the two.
Thank you, Jodie.......this fabric is totally out of the color families I play in right now, but made a gorgeous quilt.  This was fun and a great way to start the new year.
