Now & Then

Hallway leading to the bedrooms, wall space to the left of the bathroom door. Quilt is by a sub-group of The Flying Geese Quilt Guild, the old small group "Niners." I gave them the words to "I am a Child of God" and "Turn the Hearts of the Children" with my color theme fabric of peach/green/purple stripes and each member made me a strip only 20 inches wide, per my request. The quilt is over 75 inches tall, perfect for a narrow wall space like this.

Old and New Ideas

This "strip" quilt was made with a group of friends, each doing a row based on the theme I chose: Turn the Hearts of the Children to the Fathers; a family history quilt!
I want to point out the rolling hills green mural with sky and clouds behind the quilt, another brief experiment I tried in our hallway.

This Book of Mormon quilt is circa pre-2003. Two close-ups. The entire quilt is made in 12x12 blocks, individually sewn and quilted and then grommetted together. For the quilt show I had arrows bound to the edges with leather straps.


Close-up of Joseph Smith.

I can keep adding to this, continue the grommetted theme. I was thinking that when I die I would will certain squares to each of my children. For example, Samuel would get the Prophet Samuel the Lammanite on the wall...If I make 2 more they each get 3...so I should make 8 more for an even 4 patch for each of them. Maybe. Not today.



And for Luanna! Copied your idea of hands, want to get these printed out and framed, or do a re-shoot, if you can't read this?
