My friend that I sold the Little Boy quilt to has asked me to put a bible verse on the label. Below is a link to the (almost finished) quilt..but I don't know how to do the verse...She wants Proverbs 3:5-6..Do I do the verses and identify them separately (Proverbs 3:5..then the next verse and identify it?) Or just do the verses and identify using the dash between 5-6? I'm assuming that I need to identify them...?
I'm really not sure the verse is appropriate for the top though...she is buying the quilt...and hasn't seen it to this point...should I advise her to maybe do something different? She also bought the Little Girl quilt, so she does already know the style of these. http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/25343.page |
Can you email her photos of the tops? I would want her to see them first.

Sandpat,
That's actually one of my favorite verses! Though it's for a little boy, he won't be little for long, and this verse contains wonderful advice for his future. It's not what we'd think of as a kid's verse, admittedly. Were it me doing the verse, I'd do it thus: Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. If you just leave a bit of space between the verses, the reader will get the idea. |
I agree with Favorite Fabrics. I'd do it just as she suggests.

2 of my favorite verses also, and I think they are appropriate for your quilt.
the way FF said is great. Great verses to grow up and live by. |
One of the verses that means more to me as I grow older :D
Beautiful quilt, check with your customer but FF has it right. |
Thanks so much! I thought that doing like that would be right, but I just wasn't sure.
The more I think about it..I do think this will be be right for this quilt. The friend's mother has seen the quilt and they are on vacation together right now...so I can't email a pic to her. I'll probably call her on her cell just to talk it over before I do something that can't be changed. Thanks for all the great advice! |
This verse is on my favorites list also. I think its a wonderful thing to teach to a child from little up.

Very appropriate verse and the way Favorite Fabrics said to do it looks great!
