Peaceful Pathways Anew!


Peaceful Pathways have been renewed!  

I've been looking at this plastic bin sitting in my stack of many plastic bins--I can see some red fabric and white fabric.  How long has it been sitting there?  Oh, ages, I'm sure--at least since 2011 or before.
Opening the bin, I find a partial top--Hence, Peaceful Pathways by Esther Aliu.  At one time, I was a member of her BOM club.  She is the most awesome designer of lovely quilts!  Her work is beyond my scope of expertise for sure.  

But, this one BOM captured my fancy! 
Yes, I want to make this!  It had embroidery and piecework--that would be fun to do!
You can guess what happen though--yelp! I ran out of interest--

Opening the bin, I found I had all the embroidery pieces and some of the piecework along with the instructions.  And look!  how many 2.5" half square triangles were finished??
Seemed to me, most of the hard part was done so
all it took was to open the box and renew my desire to finish
Peaceful Pathways

Why not?!!  We had just had a wonderful retreat to refresh
our journey --this is the perfect way to complete that feeling or Anew!


I just needed to put the parts together--and I decided it would be easier to do by hand stitching--especially with all those stops and starts

Love this Biblical verse--almost every wedding these verses are recited by bride or groom.


The middle was complete--just place all those odd shaped pieces along the sides

see those 1/2 square triangles?  That took alot of time to stitch--
and I found all the triangles I needed to complete the other border--

Center all together and all the borders sewn together--just go from there!
