“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

First 2025 FINISHES.....long time no post !

 Well, I have certainly let this blog fall to the wayside, but I am still quilting !  Last year I got involved in helping finish quilts that my Church makes for rehab graduates.  I do alot of the bindings, and I really enjoy being a part of this ministry.

But every now and then I squeeze in a personal quilt.

This past January I experimented with using some fabric that was donated to me.  This VOILE was intended for making shawls, but I doubled it as the back for a small lap quilt, or baby quilt.  I have to say that it turned out marvelously.  I used and older charm pack for the print squares in the top, along with scraps of a muslin-type of fabric that was leftover from trimming some of the donation quilts.

But the back of this quilt is the STAR !  I used a polyester batting, and the back of this quilt is every bit as soft-feeling as a minky fabric, but won't pick up pet hair like that fabric does !

                         LUSCIOUS VOILE BACKING                    Ignore the fan quilt lying below
                                     
And, this past week I got a hankering to try piecing some diamonds, thinking I would like an entire quilt top made from them........but, I'm now thinking...uh, NO, don't think I want to go there (bias edges !)    BUT I do love the table topper that I made from my trial piece !


Just the right fit.  The roses are artificial.  A friend at Senior Bingo was giving them to all the ladies.

 One more little make.........this birthday banner was finished this month as well.
