“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

FINISHED QUILT, and in progress photos....PaddyWhack, (Renamed, "Old Made New Again") (St. Patrick's Day quilt top finish)

Not a finished quilt, but a top that was finished piecing on March 17, 2022.

Today, I pieced a backing for PaddyWhack. You can see through it here, to the quilt top hanging behind it.


That's a very pale green and white stripe with two pieced rows of scraps.

All of these fabrics were ones that I had on hand, many of them, most in fact, have been in my stash for YEARS. I decided to see if they were worth holding onto. And I do think they were. I really like the mellow look of these colors together.....a nice rest from all the brights that I normally use.

UPDATE--FINISH :

I finished the quilting on this one around April 15th, and didn't post the finish photos. Here they are. I love it, and use it as an extra layer on cool nights, and covering my legs while doing my Bible reading on cool mornings.

Polyester batting for a change, and all hand-quilted.
