“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

Getting to sew a bit....

...I gave up the spare bedroom in exchange for making it a full sewing room..........I'm much happier, though I wish I could have both at once !

I finished hand-quilting a challenge that I had accepted from Wanda Gayle.  She sent me some finished blocks in the Jacob's Ladder pattern, and some already cut-out flowers along with a pattern.  I assembled the blocks together and used the appliques in a little bit different way.  I hope that she will post a photo of the quilt, as I don't have a working camera right now, nor internet access at home. 

I also pieced a quilt-top today and yesterday, from batiks and Fossil Ferns that JodieAnn sent to me over time.  I used a mottled cream fabric as background and it came out just beautiful.  In fact that's why I'm in  town right now.......on my way to purchase a batting with which to put it together.

Hope everything is blessings with all of you !  Love,
