“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

Lagging behind........

.....I am so bad about posting here !

I finished the new quilt top on Wednesday, I think.  It's really big for a couch quilt, but that seems to be the way I make them lately.  I guess it comes from my napping on the couch......I'm pretty tall, and I hate it when a nap quilt won't cover my feet while letting me snuggle it against my cheek.  So I try to keep THAT in mind when I make them for other people.

Anyway, the big piece of fabric from last weekend's "score" worked out perfectly for the border.



























  I call this one, "Marking Time", and it measures around 60 by 80 inches.  I haven't chosen backing fabric yet, as I expect that I won't get a chance to baste it until the weather opens up again in the Spring and I can do it outside.

But I went back to the second-hand store this weekend and made my second score !   I had messaged the lady who runs the store, and asked her to look and see if she could locate a copy of Electric Quilt among the sewing supplies she had.  While I was perusing the aisles this Friday, I looked over, and there sat EQ4 on a shelf that I had already passed once.

 I asked her if she had put it out for me, and she said that, no, she hadn't had any luck finding what I wanted.  Well, I don't believe in luck.......I KNOW that God blessed me by putting that right there where I HAD to see it myself !   She let me have it for $4.00, and I loaded it onto my computer when I got home.  I know it's not the latest version, but IT IS the version that I had before, so I am perfectly comfortable in knowing how to use it !   SCORE again, praise the LORD !

    God is good!
    Lovely quilt and the size is just right. The quilt I am quilting now I am using flannel
    as the backing. This is the first time to use flannel and I really like it.
