“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

Finally back to a little sewing.......

........I put the final borders on the little sports-themed quiltie for Hawkins. He's due in September, and his mama really wanted to name him River, since they have a camp on the Buffalo River and spend a lot of time at her parents' camp there too. But the last name is Moss, and she was afraid that it would make for a lot of teasing as he grew up if he was named "River Moss". I still like it and will probably always think of him that way.

Anyway, here is the top. It's awfully busy looking, or I would have placed the blocks together without sashing. But I had to provide some LITTLE resting place for the eyes.......or atleast I thought I was. It should finish about 38 inches square.
