“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

Gonna get spoiled....

...on these 60+ degree days and I'm NOT going to want to go back into Winter !
Lovely day today, and the trees have buds on them.......one thing about it, they shouldn't suffer drought for a long while ! 

I finished Jodie's applique today, but I'm going to hold off on a photo of it until she receives it and tells me she's happy with it.

I just placed an order with Fabric.com  for fabric for a baby quilt that I've been asked to make.   Of course, as Cheryl taught me, a smart girl has to add a little sumpin-sumpin to the order for herself,..........I mean, just to bring the total up to the 'free shipping' level, mind you ~!~
I've been asked to make another non-pattern quilt, almost whole-cloth, but in soft pink and cream. 
I'm hoping that this will make a beautiful back for the baby quilt.

This one is for my cousin's second grandbaby, obviously a girl this time around. 

Remember, I made her this one before for her first grandson?

The baby is not due until June, but I'd like to get the quilt well underway.  Blessedly, I have all the work I can ask for right now.

I'm think I'm going to sneak away from the computer now, though, to get a little further in a fun book I've been reading a little bit of.

Good night all !

Oh, by the way, Jodie, you're getting comments in MY comments section !  Wanda wants to see some of these projects that you're always mentioning.  We think that YOU should start a blog too !  At the very least, send her an email with photos !

    Oh, yes...You must always add more to get the free shipping. It's only right!

    You do such beautiful work, Dolly...
