THE
PROMISES QUILT – 2024/25
A
slow stitching project…
I’ve begun designing a new version of
the Promises & Borders quilt I made and shared back in 2012, and thought
you might like to slowly stitch along with me?
This first block(Micah 7:8) is the beginning, but
as my intention is to make my new Promises Quilt a slow, unhurried project, the
blocks that follow will not be shared on a weekly or monthly basis, but only
when I am inspired to design one.
In my mind I think there will be nine
blocks overall, each with a Scripture that declares a promise from God – which
in these darkening times is an oft needed reminder of how close He is to us day
by day, and not to fret nor be troubled, but to be assured we are never alone
or without His help.
I’m using a bit of needle-turn applique,
and hand embroidery to embellish each block. I chose the threads to blend with
the fabrics I shall use for borders, most especially a piece of vintage
curtain which I will need to use sparingly.
The first block has it featured as a border, and then I’ll probably add some squares for a second border, but may change my mind as the project grows. It is up to you how you border your blocks, and whether you want to house them inside a quilt layout or use them for individual projects such as cushions, runners, bags, or perhaps framed.
To keep informed of the new blocks as I share them it's best to follow my blog HERE

Thank you for blessing us! This is balm to my soul, and exactly what I need right now!
I would love to do a stitch along. Will download and hopefully have time to do this. Beautiful block!
I've never paid much attention to Micah. Thanks for pointing out such a strong verse. Also, thanks for the download.
I don’t know how I missed this post. I read and even devour every one of your writings. They are such an inspiration or encouragement right when I need them. Then equipping for us to turn around and be a blessing to others. I would love to do this stitch along. I may put it into a little book for my youngest granddaughter as I did with your Psalm 23 for another grand guild. His word is a lamp into our feet and always good to remind the next generations
Thank you so much for your faithfulness. You are a huge blessing!
Beautiful!! I downloaded the photo! My very favourite Bible verse is Micah verse. HugsX
