Quiltin' the Bible Road to Ecclestiastes 3:7

I'm an old girl, yet applying Scripture to every part of my life. I often cut and paste "Good Thoughts" and this is a reminder of what was said by some good writer years ago.

In the Old Testament, the writer states in Ecclestiastes 3:7 that there is “ a time to tear apart and a time to sew together…..a time to be silent and a time to speak”.  

Making a quilt is indeed a combination of tearing apart and piecing fabric back together. We use and re-use fabric so that nothing is really wasted or forgotten in the back of our closet. That old dress or pair of jeans is cut-away at the seams and we add new textures, buttons or lace so as to re-fashion it. So it is, the old remains familiar and yet brand new.

In this way, my quilted objects let me embrace the memory of yesterday - the kids, my mom, my father-in-law, my veteran.... A time and a season for everything...

This is authentic African or maybe Morocco... being hand quilted in the hoop by my sister-friend!

The light of truth.... Ida Wells

" The way to right the wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them" ... !!!

I'll do two parts of explaining how I feel about Lovely Ida B. Wells......

I'd made a note reading about the 100th Centennial of the 19th Amendment - wherein Suffragists fought to secure the vote for women.

Over the last year we’ve been celebrating the Centennial of the 19th Amendment, learning about the struggle over several decades, by the Suffragists who fought to secure the vote for women.

Loving to buy fabric .... planning to use it in the future.... I purchased from Benatex / Susan Sider VOTES FOR WOMEN..... a digital-printed panel (24' x 44") that featured quotes from .... terminology haha SUFFRAGETTES Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth...... Ida B. Wells-Barnet.... YIPPEE

As I read thru several friendly blogger posts, eQuilter offered a free download pattern back in 2021.   I also posted the link on my Bquiltin Studio FB pg.
