A beautiful quilt block and an awesome song for a very special day. Happy Easter, Susan!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day goes along with this song.
ReplyDeleteThe choir sang in three services. people wonder why I am not holding a hymnal but how many times does one have to sing something to know it by heart?
ReplyDeleteI would have been disappointed if you had chosen another song for the hymn. :) It's a great block and I hope you had a great Easter.,
