Full Reveal of EPIC Project - Women of the Bible Quilt
A random email reminded me of this wonderful project so let's enjoy some show-n-tell as I share the story of my Women of the Bible Quilt. For many years, the popular hangout online was in Yahoo Groups, and the Women of the Bible Quilt was one of many sew-alongs happening in that space. This video shares details of my process making the quilt and choosing a layout for the 52 blocks.

    Quilt kits? Can’t prewash them…a necessity in my mind… I only recently conceded to using a real quilt pattern instead of ‘making it up as I go along’ which takes a whole lot more time… I am getting old and have too many quilts left in me to make! Yet I am fascinated by the selection available in kits! Sew to your heart’s content, so long as you keep sewing!
