This is for the Teapot Tuesdays Challenge - A Stitch in Time: Threads, pins, needles, patches to keep from unraveling, extra points for an encouraging scripture. For this one, I dug out a very old stamp set with an outdated style. Nevertheless, I love this patchwork quilt with stitch marks for this challenge and to frame the Bible verse. Years ago, I had a serious health issue that was raging out of control; sometimes I did feel like I was unraveling. This verse was one of the verses that I depended upon to help me through each day. The sentiment is from the same set and it seemed to express the purpose for our cards. The buttons with thread attached are from craft & sewing supplies that I inherited from my mother. Wonderful challenge. Thanks for looking.

Oh Diane, this is so restful and pretty. I love that image and how perfect that it fits Chery' so perfectly. That doesn't happen too often. I see you came prepared: you've got everything for the girls should that quilt unravel. Perfect everything on your card.

Oh goodness, Diane we used the same very old stamp! I have thought of giving up this set a few times, but I just can't part with it. I think it may have been the first stamp set I bought when I went to a stamping demo. I love your soft colors. I had to extend my frame a little because I printed my sentiment too big. Your card is awesome!
