“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

Long day today......

......had to drive to Nashville, but hubby finally saw surgeon about closing off opening from peg tube in stomach.  Surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, so that will be another trying time, but God is watching over all our needs, and blessing our days.

I got two edges of the Blushing quilt bound.  I always have so many leftover strips or pieces when I make a quilt.........I ALWAYS cut much more than I need..........but this time I was wise.  At first, I put the leftovers in the storage box as usual.  But then when I needed more width on the quilt, I went back and pieced lengths of strips together to make borders for the two sides.  And now, when I needed binding fabric, I once again pieced together lengths of the leftovers.........lights for the top and bottom, because those two edges were white background fabric; and next, Lord willing, I'll piece together the colorful prints for the side binding pieces.   And, I REALLY like how that's looking so far  !   Photos soon, hopefully.

Tired now.......going to bed soon.  I awakened at 4:30 a.m. in anticipation of my drive today, and we had school bus traffic/slowdowns in both directions.   So glad to be home !
