I saw on
Jan Patek's blog that she was going to be doing her Bible quilt as a BOM. That reminded me that I had the patterns. I haven't seen her say anymore about it, but I plan on doing one block a month. It will be a mix of wool and cotton. Here's block 1 for January. Not too bad considering I started it on the 30th! It has been awhile since I've done anything very primitive so I'm looking forward to this.
Here is block #8 of Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt. Pretty boring all by itself, but together with the other blocks it will be a wonderful quilt.
I joined a doll swap that
Christine organized. My doll quilt is ready to ship off to
Dorothy in the Land of Oz. I'm only allowed to give a sneak peak until it arrives at its new home. By the way, be sure to check out Dorothy's amazing quilts! Her header quilt alone will knock yer socks off!
I ordered this cute necklace from
Etsy's One Stitch Off.
Pam and
Debbie, fellow quilters are responsible for making these. I hate to remove it from the packaging it is so cute!! Mostly they make quilty kind of necklaces, but I believe they take special orders too. It is nice when we can support each other! Thank you ladies! I love it! (it looks like they've added some new things on Etsy!!)
I hope everyone came through the cyclone and snow storms OK. We've been sunny, cold and dry in Central Oregon.

Wow! You've been busy - it all looks wonderful. Can't wait to see the doll quilt.
I love your Bible quilt block. I have some Bible quilt books that I want to use to assemble one for myself. I think it's a great idea.
I love your block that you think is pretty boring. I find it to be beautiful and it reminds me of spring:)
Enjoy your stitching time!
I'm glad you're doing your Bible quilt. Mine is still one of my all time favorites.
I will definitely enjoy watching your progress on your Bible quilt.
I think your 'boring' blocks is delightful - doesn't look very boring to me. :-)
Can't wait to see your doll quilt. teehee!
That Bible quilt is so tempting...yours looks great!
Can't wait to see your doll quilt! I better get busy if yours is already on it's way!
All your work is wonderful.
I'm also working on Jan's Bible Quilt. I appliqued five blocks a few years ago and there it sat. I substituted one block--adding Daniel in the lion's den. I'm not adding the embroidered verses. I want to finish mine this year too.

The Bible quilt looks like it will be really cute! She has information about it on her side bar. We had 3-4 inches of snow overnight. It comes on top of the ice already on the roads. All the schools are closed.
The Bible quilt is one of my favorites so will look forward to seeing your progress. Love the fabrics in this cherry tree block - its one of my favorites too. Can't wait to see the little quilt you made for Dorothy revealed - I agree - she is one amazing quilter!
Aren't Pam and Debbie great? I have one of their necklaces too, and love it.
Your Bible quilt is going to be terrific! What fun you are having making each of the blocks.
What fun. I have thought about getting the pattern and doing it as well. Looking foward to seeing your progress on it.
Two beautiful blocks, I will follow your progress on Bible quilt.I don't know this pattern !
I posted my Midnight Stars, not yet quilted, on my blog. XOXO
Oh... a Bible quilt BOM? I'll have to check that out... my SIL is going off to "minister school" in August...
Doll quilts are my absolute favorite - I can't wait to see it!
I finished (quilted and bound finished) Midnight Stars. I had a great time working on it!
You Bible block is wonderful, I like the primitive look!
Hugs,
Denise
I will go back to this blog as I missed this announcement and love the block you made very much!
That is a wonderful pattern and think it would be nice to hang on a wall or banister, to show off the design. I was going to make my own version, then got carried away;)
Debbie
You've been tempting me again!
You have been busy, busy busy once more. I shall look forward to seeing your Bible quilt.
Your Bible quilt block reminded me that I have had the pattern somewhere for a very long time. Your progress and enthusiasm might be just what I need to pull it out and get going. Hey, I even found it!
I am hoping to make the Bible Quilt with Jan this year. I think they are knocked out of commission with the snow back there so I am trying to be patient while they thaw.
The Bible quilt is looking great. The Primitive style is so unique to America!
Your applique is just super!
looks like you have been busy ! the blocks look wonderful and oh can't wait to see the little quilt you made for the swap, looks wonderful from the peak!
great necklace I am tempted to order one or two of them!
have a great weekend
Kathie
Please tell me your finished early on the doll quilt swap - yikes! I had better get going.
I like your sneak peak. I haven't done one yet, do we have to or can we have it be a total surprise.
Are you done with the vintage challenge? you amaze me! I'm in awe.
I love the idea of a bible quilt. I've thought about it over the years, but never saw a good pattern. I'll have to check it out.
Oh no, your post is full of temptation for me, yikes! LOL I really like the primitive wool block a lot and your BTCT block is NOT boring, but beautiful!!
I've been thinking about ordering a necklace as well, just can't decide which one...yours is very pretty!
What a great idea for a bible quilt. Love the block and your blog!
I really am intrigues with your bible quilt! I went and looked on Jan's blog website...I would love to do that quilt too!! Your necklace is very pretty. I bet your swap partner is so happy with her doll quilt, Lori!
Love your Bible quilt block! And the flowers are so pretty :o)
Dorothy does make gorgeous quilts. You were fast and hand quilted too. I love the first block and the Cherry tree one is fabulous as well.
Oh my...you've been busy!
I'm going to enjoy watching your progress on the Bible quilt.
Your BTCT is gorgeous..not boring!
I like the little peek at the doll quilt. The purples have me curious. I look forward to the reveal.
Your necklace is so cute! The packaging is extra fun. :)
I'm really enjoying your progress! I love your block, Lori!
The Bible quilt block set is one I never purchased. I will just have to enjoy seeing your blocks.
