I have joined a new group that started in January of this year.Our group gets together once a month to honor and to learn more about
"Women of the Old Testament".
It's headed up and taught by my dear friend Lucy who is a very talented quilter.
The class really is more of a bible study with a 6" quilt block to go with each woman that we learn about.
Lucy picks the block for us and gives us the pattern that goes along with the women that we have discussed that evening....
then we go home and make the blocks in our own fabric and color choice.
These are the blocks that we have done so far...the above block is for Eve, the mother of all women and is called of course..."Garden of Eden".
This block is for Mrs. Noah...lol...we don't know her name but we felt that she certainly deserves a block in her honor....it's appropriately called..."Ocean Waves".
This block is for Sarah...and is called "Sarah's Choice".
This block is for Keturah and is called "Arabic Lattice".
This block above is for Hagar and the name of the block is "Wanderer in the Wilderness".
This pink and brown block is for Lot's Wife and is named ...."Cross Roads".
This last block is for Rebekah and is called the "Right Hand of Friendship".
This fabric is from Riley Blake's very first line ....Just Dreamy and is no longer available but I have a little over 2 yards so I hope it will be enough to use in all of the blocks for the backgrounds. Because the blocks are only 6" x 6"....I think I will be safe to go ahead.
I have really enjoyed learning more about these wonderful women and the group will meet throughout the rest of this year studying and making blocks....next year we might go on to Women of the New Testament....
