“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

New quilt top--Batik Ohio Stars

 I pieced this one last week, but haven't yet been inspired with a quilting design.


                         Marley Jo approves.


The stars were made using a charm pack that was gifted to me, a few years ago, by Wanda Robinson, dear friend in Oklahoma.  After making the stars, I was in a quandry over what fabric to use as a setting background.  I was drawn to this blue and yellow calico that I had bought on clearance a few years ago, but it seemed so out of wack to combine batiks and calico.  But once I had laid it out, I knew that there was no going back.  I LOVE the look of it.  

I hope to update this post when I have quilted it.  It's quite small, around 54 inches square, but I adore lap quilts that measure anywhere from 40-60 inches square.  I have NO ONE in mind to gift it to, but that could change.  I tend to gift them on a spur-of-the-moment, so we'll see.  For now, I just enjoy the beauty, thanking God for the gift of quilt-making.
