Scripture Block Quilt Part 1

Posted on 20 August 2020 by stashingsisters

Bean Bags for Scripture Block Quilt

Two years ago the Stashing Sisters had a quilt block exchange. The theme was “Scriptures”. Everyone involved chose their scriptures and block designs then shared their ideas with each other before the making began. This process avoided duplicates. The anticipation and delight of the exchange did not disappoint.

Here is one Stasher’s finished quilt. The backing for the quilt had been waiting in her stash closet for a few years.

Bean bags were made from the extra fabric to be used in a teaching game with children: throw the bag on a square and tell the story. If the bag lands on a multicolored, they can tell a scripture story of their liking.

Each block will be identified in the next post.

Love of Family and Fabric – The Retreat Part 1 of 3

Posted on 12 April 2014 by stashingsisters

Standard

Although no theme was mentioned or established for the 2014 Quilt Retreat, one emerged as the Stashing Sisters began working on their projects – FAMILY.

Most of the projects were for their families, either their own children or grandchildren. The Sisters of the Quilt Guild all share the love of fabric and they also share love through fabric.

An Eye-Spy Quilt Project Kids Will Love

Posted on 6 November 2012 by stashingsisters

Standard

Assemble an assortment of different novelty fabric squares. The fabric should contain images of items that children could recognize. Squares can range from 2″ to 8″ depending on size of quilt and the number of individual fabrics you have. For example, a baby size quilt might need 48 five inch squares plus 1 1/4 yard of border fabric. That’s 48 different fabrics (you might want to find a buddy to share fabrics with on this one) .

Assemble squares 6 across and 8 down. Add the border around it. Embroider the names of the items to be found in the border. This could be done by hand, machine, or drawn with fabric marker.
