Quilting for a friend. Just wanted to share some details of some of the quilting, above and below. I really enjoyed working on the pink quilt above - I have some pink in my stash - I have got to get it out and make a pink quilt now, too!!

More Work from Word Series

This piece started on a sketch pad - which doesn't happen very often in my sewing room - and the verse....If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you....John 15:7. I chose a two color pallette - the complements yellow and purple.
I have been trying to lose weight - dieting for two months I have lost 4 pounds....whooppeee - so I am throwing in 3 mile power walks.

My husband now teases me about stealing flowers from the graves. Some of those flowers along with glass beads embellish this piece.

This is Word #12. A very good friend has a birthday this month and I have made this piece for her. But I haven't sent it to her yet - so taking a chance that she won't see it here first!

This piece is not quilted yet - but it already cheers me in the morning.

It is a wholecloth, measures about 14x24 and to make the words I AM the background is filled in using a pigment pen writing many of Jesus' words that told who HE is.... I AM the way the truth and the life - no man comes to the Father but by me. John 14:6

In the old testament, God told Moses...I AM THAT I AM; and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM had sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14. Throughout the bible, God reveals his character by further stating......I AM...
