Hi, I think what you are doing is great. I like the serenity prayer,theme. You could just make a templet of the arches, and have the arches whatever color you want, then the background could be anything, each arch a different color, you could buy used 100o/o percent cotton t shirts, or other clothing that had images on them you could cut out and use

I thought if I could find suitable Panels I could use them as the center and put quilt squares around it with a solid border. I went to Joanne's the only place to buy fabric around here. What a disappointment. No Panels, no fabric with angels or peace doves. Any ideas would be appreciated . Unfortunitly cost has to be considered . So if you have any ideas who sells panels, or suitable fabric Would love your ideas. I have a embroidery machine BUT my machine doesn't do larger designs its a cheapie but a goody LOL!!. I plan to enlarge a peace Dove our Hospice uses and applicate a large panel for one of the quilts. If it looks ok will make a couple with squares surrounding it. what do you Think. PLEASE be honest. I want them to bring peace to the families THANKS Debbie Forgot I'm not the best quilter in the world so any easy quilting idea's also would help. Great at making the tops but man quilting is somethiing else we can go from there. She would only want the postage to send it to someone. |
Hancock's of Paducah sent me an email ad today and there were many panels in the clearanced selections.

Also consider patriotic themed panels for veterans.

You can find LOTS and LOTS of panels on eBay. I've purchased a few from some wonderful sellers. :wink:

I haven't read all of the post so it has most likely been mentioned but I get panels on etsy as well as ebay often for just a few bucks each.

I am going to go through my stash I pm u what I have

Debbie,
PM me your address as I have a panel called Amazing Grace I will send you to complete for your hospice. A very dear friend of mine lost his battle with cancer last year and the hospice was such a peaceful & caring place for his family and friends to spend his last days. Thank you for your time and caring of all that spend their last days in hospice. Brenda |
Debbie, could you just cover the prayer with an angel???
