“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

I am BEAT ! ! !

I mean, I am so wore out, I can hardly sit here and type !   I did one partial row in my garden today, this time an un-tilled section, and it was so wearying, if that's a word.   My arms want to scream, "I can't keep this up another minute", and I rest for a few seconds and then go again.  Then there is a huge pile of dirt all worked down to the end of the row, that needs to be raked BACK up throughout the entire length of the row !  And it is SO HEAVY! 

Hubby was hoping that I would complete the last of the tilling tomorrow, but heard that it is going to rain for the next 3 days.   I say, "Thank you, dear heavenly Father !"

In the meantime, I should receive my order from Fabric.com tomorrow.   I ordered 5 1/2 yards of this print

thinking that I would back my Scrappy TripAlong quilt top with it (which, by the way, I have pieced an additional 6 blocks for, and just need to add them to the length).  But I really, really, REALLY like this print, atleast what I can tell about it from the online photos, and I may not want to use it for this top.   We'll see. 

It is a HUGE print, which I always love for quilt backs, with some of the flowers measuring 6 inches across !

Anyway, I'm fading fast, so I'll stop for now.   Wishing you all a restful night's sleep !
