Lovely quilts - thank for sharing! I still have the top of a double wedding ring quilt that my grandmother made in the 1930s but put away and never finished.
I took a quilting class and got down the basics but I am too afraid to ruin an heirloom so haven’t tried finishing it yet....ah well, one of these days the kids will be grown and gone : ( and I’ll have time to really work at it slowly and carefully.
Hang in there - I feel like the cracks in the dam are widening a bit and one of these days the torrent of information will come flooding out - I pray that it’s not too late to save the country but I also know that God will always preserve a remnant...either that or He’ll take us all home!
Is the top already done, or are there cloth pieces you still have to put together? The double wedding ring is a little bit tricky to get it to all lie flat. but it sure is beautiful when it’s done.
Are you in MN? We lived in MN for 7 years and loved it; a lot of quilters there. Don’t be afraid to ask some of the old-timers for tips on what designs to use for the quilting; I’m sure they would consider it a great compliment and would give you some good advice.
Your thoughts about the dam bursting and about God’s faithfulness are things I think about a lot. If I didn’t have God’s promises to hold onto, I don’t know what I’d do - especially in times like these.
I actually wonder if that’s part of the reason that some of the libs don’t see what’s going on: it would be too scary a thing to even ATTEMPT to navigate alone, without a powerful and sovereign God to trust in. But it would also be scary to believe in a powerful and sovereign God, if your whole life was spent opposing what He has said.
