“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

Marking Time, a finished quilt

I just finished the binding on this quilt today.

It is called
"Marking Time"

This quilt was made for the grandson of a friend of mine. He is currently imprisoned and can't receive the quilt, but I am praying for God's mercy in bringing about his release.

The quilt finished around 59 inches by 82 inches.

It is backed in his favorite color, green. I didn't have enough of one fabric, so I used a darker green to frame a lighter green, and I really like the effect.

I machine-quilted this one using my walking foot for the interior of the quilt, stitching in the ditch mostly. Then I meander-free-motion-quilted the outer border.
