Quilts and Creation

Over the years I have acquired many hobbies and loves and one of them 
happens to be quilting. Now I am by no means an expert quilter; the most
ambitious quilt I ever made was a quilt made of  blocks containing
different colored leaves. Usually I just make random patchwork quilts or
patchworks like the one pictured above in the Around The World pattern where you start with a center square and keep adding different fabrics around the first until you reach the edges.



It is also pretty obvious if you have read any of my previous posts that I love books. I especially love children's
books. Recently I had the opportunity to read a children's book by
Janice Green about the creation of the world. It was truly an excellent
book. It would never have occurred to me to combine two loves like
quilting and writing.








Janice has done a great job doing just that. Her retelling of the
creation story in an
entertaining and simple way that children will be sure to understand is
delightful. And the beautiful illustrations made from quilt segments add
interest to
this fine book. I would definitely recommend this book to parents just
beginning to teach their children biblical truths.



Although this book is most assuredly in the Christian Children's genre,
all you quilting fans might just want to take a look at the splendid
illustrations as well. In the back of the book Janice even identifies
many of the fabrics used in the quilt segments pictured. So go get your
copy of The Creation today.
