bobbi,
I just finished my knot quilt for my newest arrial grandbaby. It was a great suggestion.
A prayer with each tie. A prayer quilt. My church has a quilt guild i can not get to. At times they keep quilts out with long tie strings for any prayers as the quilt tieing is finished. Great idea!
My daughter in-law loved the idea and made the quilt more special.
for pulling the needle through, do you have one of those little rubber discs to help pull the needle through? sold in a package of two at quilt supply shelves. Was a great help !.
