Weekend Project - Embroidered Scripture Quilt
 

This was a fast weekend project a very ill QB friend. The idea was to "cover her with prayer". Each block is embroidered with a different inspirational quote from Scripture. It was put together very simply with stitch in the ditch and at the last minute I decided to add some lace hem tape to break up the white. In the interest of speed, the binding was a fold-over of the backing. I am hoping that one day I'll have time to make a much larger one as a raffle item for my church - perhaps with stippling next time.

what a comforting gift. paryer for the quilting friend.

I hope your friend is soon much better. Very nice quilt.

Very nicely done!

What a wonderful gift for an ill friend. I'm sure she will love it.

I'm terribly sorry to "barge-in" like this, (I'm new and a lurker---I LOVE looking at all the beauty and creativity on this board!!!), but I have been looking for some cross stitch or embroidery patterns of Christian Scripture for a long time...could I ask please where you got the patterns? Are they stamped or Iron-ons maybe?

No, TruMama, they are machine embroidered. The Scriptures have been digitized with vintage looking flowers and birds and other little bits of comfort and interest. There is no way I could possibly have done it by hand over the weekend!

I love it!! What a blessing to the receiver!

Really nice!!!!

Beautiful job! Hope she is feeling better.

Nice adn so thoughtful. well done

very nice!!!!!

Awesome quilt! Being covered in prayer is so great for your dear friend. Prayers for her as well~

Super Woman Krystyna you have a heart of gold. Love you to the core. Thank you for your prayful quilt for an ill friend. Prayers work. Hugs

This is so adorable! Prayers from the Gulf to help with her recovery.

What is the best embroideriey machine to buy?

Kim, that depends on what you want to do and your budget. I use a Brother PE-770. Hop on over the the embroidery machine thread and you'll get lots of assistance http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...un-t32969.html

Beautiful and your friend will think so also. Great idea.

even sewing straight all weekend I would not have been able to complete it. Wonderful sentiment "covered in prayer". You chose some really wonderful scripture quotes.

Beautiful quilt! Also love the idea of being covered in prayer! Sure to be a big comfort!!

Beautiful! I know she will love it! She will feel the warmth and prayers coming from this wonderful gift.
Awesome job Krystyna!

Sweet dreams indeed covered with scripture.:thumbup:

It looks So Delicate and nice, I love what you did.

beautiful and I think it is perfect the way it is. Clean and simple!!! :)

Well I am a tad embarrassed!! I guess I thought you had embroidered them previously and put them together over the weekend and did the finishing...I should've read more carefully. Anyway,...it's a beautiful gift!

Oh, goodness, no need for embarrassment! I wish I could hand embroider that fast! Maybe 40 years ago, but not today.

You did a beautiful job Krystyna. It will be loved by its recipient.

What a lovely way to " be " there for a QB friend. Very thoughtful of you. I wish I could find something like that to buy. I have a friend that needs one of these too. LOL.
You did a beautiful job on it.

That is so thoughtful, everyone needs to be covered in prayers. Bless you!

It is adorable!!!

She will be blessed for sure!!

That quilt is such a keeper...and being covered in prayer is such a wonderfully positive thing. Your quilt will be a great comfort in times of doubt. You are just awesome!

I love your embroidery work. I am not very good at it but I just love how it looks.
