The Bible Quilt

Hey! I finally have a finish for 2026!

This quilt was started by Juliann Phillips and she donated the patterns and the blocks she had completed  and prepped when I was looking for donations for Faith Seeds International.

A local women did the quilting. It is lovely!

Designed by Jan Patek. 

You will have a chance to win this quilt plus 3 others that we will be using to raise money for Faith Seeds International. Of course I'll be advertising!!

Have a lovely week!

 

Quilt Tops finished!

I was able to get the tree top trimmed and the small border attached. I'm pretty happy with it and I hope the quilting goes well! I'll get the backing made soon.

The Bible quilt top is complete too! I plan on quilting this one myself- very simply since it is applique and wool. 

I'm thrilled with both tops! 

Happy February!

 

Bible Quilt #2

 I’ve got my summit stitches ready to quilt, but I turned my attention to the Bible Quilt that was taking up space in my sewing room. Juliann donated this UFO to Faith Seeds and I'm getting it ready to sew at our annual quilt retreat in January. It’s been a fun one to revisit.

Here is my first one, finished and gifted in 2011. 

Most of this was completed by Juliann. 

I'm switching to machine applique and these are the blocks I have just about ready to go. I should be able to get the wool applique hand stitched and the embroidered word stitched before January.

Thanks again Juliann for this!

Another Monday Funday!

Juliann donated a UFO to Faith Seeds and I'll be working on that off and on. It is the Bible Quilt from Jan Patek. She has a lot of it completed or basted and ready to stitch. My hand applique needs a bit of work- thankfully this is primitive! Thanks again, friend!!

I've made this before and smile seeing it at my niece's home. My previous one can be seen HERE. 

 

A quilt shop I stopped at this past week while in Arizona. This is in Camp Verde. 

I've been MIA

I had a lovely week in Arizona. The last half of the week the weather was pretty fickle, but it made for some nice photos.

I got the opportunity to do a short hike in the Grand Canyon!!

Even though it was short the first half was down, down, down and so the last half was up, up, up!

My daughter and I have been meeting to hike as we prepare to summit Mount Saint Helens. 

The McNeil Point shelter was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s as part of the Timberline Trail network, intended to be a resting and camping spot for hikers.

My first time hiking to an alpine shelter. 

We will have one more big hike before the summit on the 19th!

I'm eeking out as much summer as I possible can! 

Have a wonderful week!
