......until I can obtain fabric for backing Seth's quilt, I picked up another little project.
Today I basted the little orange peel quilt that I'm making for the kitchen wall.
It's funny......I machine-zigzagged the blocks so that I could hurry the project along, and now I find myself hand-quilting it. But it's a small project after all, and I'm enjoying the handwork now that the sun goes down early and leaves me hours when I can't be fooling around with my flower gardens.
In fact, the biggest problem I had was getting my quilting chair away from Lottie-dah !

“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

LOL...when I go to sew, Wee-Kips is on my chair and Gizmo is on my cutting mat (right next to the machine)!
ReplyDeleteYour orange peal is beautiful!
