“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

FINISHED ! Trip Around JoAnn’s World

Well, I have to say, this quilt was a total joy to finish. As I said in my last post, I bought this top from my friends garage sale many years ago. Two Saturdays ago I basted it, and although I thought that I was going to hand-quilt it,  I machine quilted it this week on my old Singer 15-91 sewing machine, using the method that I described with my last finished quilt, a few posts back.

I couldn't wait........it's a soft Summer-weight quilt, and I wanted to use it NOW !

I simply quilted in the ditch of all horizontal AND vertical seams.  I chose not to quilt anything in the four-inch-wide border.
Finally a quilt that pretty much fits my twin bed !


The backing fabric is the same white with grey print that I used in my big stars of the Shine Brightly quilt.  It is a 108” wide fabric that I bought from Fabric.com.  Buying 8 yards made the price only $4.?? per yard.  It is a lovely soft fabric that also backs my Turquoise Peels quilt.

    Dolly, your quilt turned out lovely. If I could find backing for $4 a yard I would buy up enough for many quilts too. That was a great bargain.
    Wishing you a lovely week filled with lots of smiles. God bless you.
    Connie :)
