When I opened my beautiful B'day package from you and unwrapped the quilt, the first thing I saw was the hands, and I took them to be Jesus' hands as He might be praying to our heavenly Father for us here on earth. When I read your letter to me about the dots and dashes of the Morse Code I was even more overwhelmed at how much thought and effort you put into this beautiful quilt. Then you explained the dots and dashes you machine embroidered in the border and talked about how you had to do them twice so you could mirror-image the design.... all the time keeping your fingers crossed that the images stayed lined up with each other ! Absolutely Amazing, and I'll love you forever for this most incredible gift ! For the CenTex MMs, I'll bring this quilt to the Waco Quilt Guild meeting on Monday so you can see it in person. Its more gorgeous than you can imagine. Love ya, Sis !

I'm sorry I can't recall the brand. :/ I ironed the printed image face down on the gold colored batik until the plastic melted onto the fabric as per instructions, let cool and peeled off the backing. The blue batik was only used as border fabric. I threw out the packaging but I got the ink jet fabric sheets from JoAnn's and it not silk or organza. I've learned my lesson with this project to write things down.

Once I focused on voiceless communication I narrowed my options quickly. Given my personal history, Morse code and prayer just made sense and I couldn't pick between them so I merged them. I outline quilted the hands with smoke colored monofilament which provided enough relief without being distractive. Look on my WedeWorks blog to see the slightly larger quilt I did first as a practice run.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873703819530569975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-73061142716237383202013-03-15T22:41:01.394-04:002013-03-15T22:41:01.394-04:00First saw this on my phone and did not see the han...First saw this on my phone and did not see the hands. When I went to the computer for a larger and better view, they jumped off the screen. Beautifully done, Judy. Amazing that both your father and husband were involved with morse code - no wonder you chose this along with prayer for your excellent examples of communication. The dimensional quality given to the hands is incredible!!Nedra Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713288647355250747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-23019274066726858232013-03-15T21:04:41.305-04:002013-03-15T21:04:41.305-04:00What a stunning quilt!

Since this was "your" theme, Judy, I am wondering if all along knew you were going to focus on the two ways to communicate--via Morse Code and via prayer? I really enjoyed the history lesson present in your narrative. And your quilt is beautiful to look at as well. I didn't at first see the prayer hands, but once I clicked to enlarge, there they were, and now when I look at the smaller picture, they are perfectly clear to me.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.com
