“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

FINISHES- (2).... Star Boxes ... and...Aqua Rolling Stones

 I think that this will probably be my final finishes for 2023.  For me, it's been a really good year for quilting.

In the last couple of days, I finished these two quilts......

 

Star Boxes, measuring 53 x 64 inches.

Pattern adapted from Missouri Star Triple Play video
   Diagonally machine-quilted on Jazz 2.  Cotton/Wool batting

  58 inch wide backing from Hancock's of Paducah

UPDATE:  Not satisfied, I went back and pretty much doubled the diagonal quilting on this one.  I have these two photos of the finished quilting.




  ***************************************************************

Last finish, Aqua Rolling Stones, finished at approximately 52 x 71 inches. 

Standard Rolling Stone block, original design setting
            Backing purchased at Hobby Lobby, Hobbs 100% cotton batting
  Basic hand-quilting in majority of quilt, BigStitch quilting in Flying Geese borders

      Thank you for taking the time to compliment my work. Blogs seem like such an old-fashioned idea anymore. I wasn't sure that anyone else was still reading them ! I love having these finishes recorded here to remind me what I have accomplished. God bless you in 2024 !
