“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

Tiny quilt finish

All sizes of quilts make me HAPPY !
 I was experimenting with some strip-piecing when I put these blocks together a while back.  It was just the right size for some evening hand-quilting over the past week.  I chose different colored quilting threads to match the colorway of each block.
When it came time to bind, I went back to the 'strings' tub, and I chose colors to match all but the brown center block.

 Now, it sits on my coffee table, bringing me a smile each time it catches my eye.

I LOVE QUILTING !
And I LOVE having a stash to draw from on a moment's whim !  Thank you, Father in Heaven, for this gift of being able to create things, big or small, to add beauty to MY life, and, hopefully, the lives of OTHERS as well.

    I love your tiny quilt. I always thought I would make one but never did. Too lazy I suspect...haha but...it does instill in me genuine thankfullness for the handiwork of others. I have a sun bonnet sue small vintage quilt on my dining room table that I am so enjoying!! I really enjoy seeing your beautiful quilts and know-how! You stay cozy and well....May God bless us and keep us safe and heal those who are sick.
