“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

Happy Mother's Day........a bit late !

I'm back online for a bit.......had it turned back on today, so here I am at the computer again after not touching it for so long.

I have pictures of the pink baby quilt to share.  I finished it about two weeks ago, and sent it on to Michigan.  The mommy-to-be was very pleased with it.

I warned you that it was going to be simple. 
They wanted the quilting to be the focal point.
In this picture, you can see how it's size relates to the top of a queen-sized mattress.  It finished around  40 inches x 42 inches.

Here you can see the quilting designs a little better...........and the darker pink flannel print that I used for the backing.

This is really all that I accomplished except for finishing the pillows for my couch.  I almost hate to share them since you saw SO MANY pictures of the zigzag quilt before I took my hiatus.
But here's a quick shot besides the one in my header.

I did have a wonderful week-long visit from my daughter, son-in-law, and three grandkids during the month of March.  It was way fun, and I can hardly wait until we do it again.  Seth even called me today by special request, just as I was heading out the door to church !  He yelled, "NANA !"


Isn't that precious ?
Praise the LORD !
