Sneaky Peek and Praying!
I cut this out-it was printed on a strap bag soooo many years ago! My St. Louis college niece (the nineties) left it in my mother’s home! Too cute. The look, the turned shoulder.. the naturalness and youth of her smile! The real-girl skin tone - and the head wrap is sassy and hiding her hair!!!!
I've been caressing and saving this girl….. until my heart said YES tonite!!!!
The final quilt art-piece must be 12” x 24” (mine is vertical) Ok no more talk Due date is way out to September 2024….. but the call and collective title has been zooming in my mind!
Plus-I cried a good bit tonite: and it’s 2:00am LIFE LESSON CONTINUES…When I can’t change things: the serenity from God’s Word says… Not just to make-do//// but to soar—- to create Mind body soul and spirituality!! Give it to the Shepherd…Psalm 23. So this I do! I quilt!

For the Culture — Quiltin by Bquiltin
So the wonderful UCO class sessions ended 3-1-2024!!
Lots of HST’s everywhere on my DESIGN FLOOR! The UCO class of 10-14 newbie quilters had a stack of 100—- yes 100 African ten-inch squares (and solid squares)
Math n statistics could net 400. HST Oh my! They-male and femal—sewed -stitched and produced in mass across tables///assembly lines. Loved it! Stacks into plastic bags!!!
So bquiltin (me) has to perfectly square up 7” HST!!!
Here’s my first layout… I am so ready to finish and RE - PRESENT THE FINISHED QUILT!!

For the Culture 2024
UCO creating … INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
I impressed each person to parallel their own family life stories with the hardships and triumphs faced by escaping blacks. Men and women quilted out of necessity… and then to shape signals or maybe to make special fabric treasures!
