“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

Frankenquilt........FINISHED...

...and GONE !

I finished the Frankenquilt on Thursday, washed and dried it, and photographed it a bit.  
 Today, I took it to show to the lady for whom I pick up lunch.  She carried on over it, and wanted to know if I ever sold my quilts, and for how much.  

I gave it to her. 

 
I made the binding finish at 3/4 inches wide.......because I wanted to !


I couldn't help it !   She just loved it, and is always so sweetly complimenting all of my work.  And, I couldn't price it !   After all, it was made from bits and pieces, here and there, all found here in my tubs and bundles !  

So, there........Frankenquilt has found a happy home.

Enjoy, Sister Faye ! 

Details.....Finished measurements before washing--56" x 64".

                Machine-quilted in ditch horizontally, vertically, 
                and diagonally , except for border rows of squares.
                Borders were hand-quilted free-hand without 
                hoop, using big needle.  

                Batting was Fairfield 80% cotton/20% polyester 
                remnants.  Thread for quilting was variegated 
                spool sent from JoAnn Gilley.

    You do your work for the love of the process and you do it for the admiration that your work received. Your gifting tells us a lot about who you are. It is a beautiful piece.
