I'm Here!

Boy, when one is working on a secret quilt

that takes a LOT of time to make,

there isn't much time for anything else. 

Plus, the Blog is boring!

This week I did sneak in some other sewing though!

My History Club group started another session this month

and for this year we are making a quilt of

Bible Study Blocks.

At one point the patterns were free,

but now can be purchased here.

Our Club leader has divided the books of the

Old Testament blocks into ten months

and we are to make our own fabric choices.

Several years ago, when the red and white quilts were the rage,

I started participating in the

"Just Takes 2" quilt along.

I made it through the first quarter and became too frustrated with the quilt.

Fast forward to today.

I had purchased a number of reds with which to make that quilt

and haven't done anything with them.

Until now!

These blocks represent the first five books of the Bible,

but from right to left.

(Genesis is in the upper right corner.)

I guess I was channeling my inner "Hebrew" when I placed these blocks

on my design wall.

 

The blocks will be 6" finished.

 

At first I was going to use different background fabrics,

but I like the consistency of the one fabric.

Once again, Linda has picked a great topic for our club.

The "Secret" quilt is coming along.

These blocks are waiting to be trimmed

and then the strips below will be added.

 

This wedding isn't until May, but I am so glad I started

the quilt when I did.

It's taking a lot longer than I anticipated!

I was looking at something on line a while ago

and saw a photo of someone using a milk glass dish

as a "catch-all" for their sewing implements.

I have a small collection of milk glass,

but didn't have this piece....

until the other day.

Maybe this will keep my things where I can find them.

 

One can dream!

If nothing else, I have a piece of milk glass in my Hidey Hole!

Happy Quilting!
