You:Create… Just so something is posted…
September 3, 2010Ok, here I go…
To start of this blog (this place where I am posting just to remind myself that I am capable and creative) I thought that I’d post a couple of pictures of a prayer quilt that I made in early spring 2009. It was made for a young man who had suffered a severe brain injury. I saw him a few days ago. It was a miracle that he survived his injury! And today he is a delightful young man!
(Praise God!)
My cat Nils always helps me with my quilting projects.
A bunch of quilting buddies helped me to sew the binding on this quilt. (I’m not good at hand sewing due to arthritis in my hands.) Thanks quilting friends!
Another photo of the finished project…
He was a musician, thus the musical fabric.
I need to get back into quilting!

by gitz September 5, 2010 at 4:04 amthis is a really neat idea, especially if the person it is given to is prayed for while the quilt is being made. i think it’s cool that he’ll have it to wrap around himself when HE prays, and that he’ll know others prayed for him during his difficult time.
