The Prayer without a doubt is one of my favorite songs. For years I considered stenciling some of the words on the walls of our dining room, but never got around to it. Then I was invited by Elizabeth Eastmond to be part of a block exchange called The Spelling Bee. The "queen bee" each month would give a list of words she chose based on her quilt idea, and the colors she requested. We would choose two or three words to make.
When my month rolled around, I knew I wanted the words to The Prayer. I asked for black letters and neutral background fabric.
The signature blocks on the back:
I chose teal for the binding.
When it came time to photograph the quilt, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. There is a large church in town called Peoples Church and they have a really gorgeous smaller chapel. We chose a Wednesday night and I really like that the lights are on in the chapel behind the qilt.
It won a third place ribbon in the Best of the Valley quilt show in 2019.
