“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

Jo's table-topper

Another dear friend asked if I would be willing to take on a small commission for her.  She wanted a table-topper made to coordinate with the drapes that hang in her living room.  Seeing a Dresden Plate topper on my own table, she said that she would be happy with something similar.
I visited her and took this photo of her drapes, and then I set about trying to 'shop' my stash for coordinates.  I think that I did pretty well in matching her colors.  The navy is a bit darker than I'd prefer, but it worked.
I wrapped the finished quilty and gave it to her at church yesterday (no charge), but she's waiting until Christmas Eve (tomorrow evening) to open it.  I hope that she is pleased with the finished product.

On another note, I reminded Facebook friends of a couple of baby quilts that I had for sale, and a friend spoke up for this one.

 When she came to pick it up, she saw the second one,


 and asked if I could make her a deal for the two, together.  We worked it out.  
She has a baby and a toddler grandchild who will receive them for Christmas, and she AND I had big smiles on our faces when she rode away with both quilts !
Merry Christmas to ALL !
