“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

A finish, but not a full reveal........

....yes, I finished the latest quilt yesterday. I can only share a partial shot of the quilt at this time, as I hope to give it as a gift within the next 2 or 3 weeks, and I don't know if the recipient of the quilt reads my blog.......it's possible !

So, for now, here is a peek at what I like to call,

"Misty Morning's Stars"

Oh, and I almost forgot to share these photos I took yesterday. I went to hang the quilt on my clothesline for photo-taking and I noticed something green at the top of the clothesline pole.

Upon closer observation, I discovered that it was a Cicada emerging from it's old shell. I had never before witnessed the shedding stage, and I was AMAZED.
