“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

FINISH--Table topper with yellow pieced border

 Just wanted to try out an album block, and not caring for it so much, I just made 3 more to be big enough for a table-topper or wall quilt.  I love the border of yellow squares, so I backed it with a piece of yellow gingham.  Very happy with how it turned out, including the free-motion quilting in the borders. Quilted on Jazz 2, bound on JukiTL2010Q.



The duck is a tureen that I won while playing Bingo at our local senior center.


MODEST TILES-- basted and ready to be quilted

 I got this one ready a week ago, but have been slow to post, and slow to start the quilting.  

 I moved the furniture around and basted it in my living room.  It's pretty long, calling for my longest boards for pinning out.

I'm not sure what I want to do, hand-quilt, machine-quilt, or a combination of both.

Whatever I choose will really show up on those solid fabric rectangles/tiles, so I'm still thinking it over.

 This is another quilt based on a catalog/magazine cut-outs that I have saved in an "inspiration folder".


More photos to come, hopefully, when the quilt is finished !
