When I saw it, I immediately thought of my friend Deb. We've know each other since 9th grade - I say that's since God invented dirt, but Deb claims it's since the beginning of all time. We are both blessed with brothers, so we also recognize one another as the sisters we should have had. Yes, it's that kind of friendship/kinship/sisterhood.
A few years ago, Deb went with me to the Dallas Quilt Show, which is when I bought fat quarters that weren't in my normal favorites range for colors or prints. Don't know why I bought them, but I figured there was reason, so I put them aside until the reason presented itself... scrap-logic all quilters understand. And, lo and behold, the reason presented itself when I saw the Beatitudes panel last summer at the Plano Quilt Show.
The fat quarters, the Beatitudes, the randomness/precision design... it all came together in a single weekend to make a Blessing cover for Deb. And the name of the Quilt? "Friendship is a Blessing".
Here's hoping my story brightens your day, Sarah.

Her nickname is "Bird" so we decided to use a decorative bird stitch to finish off the edge. |
I received the ultra weft! I just want to tell you thanks for the easier way to put my quilt together with spray and pvc pipe! I actually put my california king quilt together that I had been procrastinating about cause I just couldn't bring myself to deal with all those pins and the hassle of trying to sandwich batting, backing and top on my small table in the mobile home I live in. AND the taping techniques for the quilting worked so much better. So my quilt is done waiting for the binding but that's not a problem. So thanks, thanks thanks!!!
I have my t-shirt quilt top put together waiting on the perfect backing for the theme. the color palate is not the best arranged but I wanted them in chronological order of the places I worked at while a traveling Occupational Therapist. thanks again for simplifying my life with quilting and allowing me to actually finish (or almost finish) 2 of the most important quilts I will probably complete. ~LindaWe wanted to share her sweet words, along with the beautiful quilts that she has made!
