Anne from Guam Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, it's my turn to ask for your prayers for my brother in law. He's in the hospital with liver and kidney failures and the prognosis is short term. He's a husband and a father of five young men in their 20's. He grew up on Guam and lives in Sacramento, so I made him a Guam Tshirt quilt to comfort him and let him know that all of us here are thinking of him.

Anne from Guam Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 A close up-- I prayed for inspiration and skill to quilt this quilt and look what happened! I have been struggling so much with free hand quilting and now I can do it! Praise the Lord! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne from Guam Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 One more, these pics aren't the greatest because I took them in a rush since the quilt is getting packed into my husband's luggage for travel asap. The block has two appliqued geckos and the one I took the pic of is trying to hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
