Album Info:
Lover's Knot is my block for Leah. It is fused and machine appliqued with gold zigzag stitches around the edges. I chose the red fabric for Leah's passion for her husband Jacob, the pink is for her love for her children, and there is a little blue mixed in there because she knew that Jacob loved her sister Rachel more than her. [Makes me think of a favorite old song of mine, "Am I Blue?" by Ray Charles. I guess that is a sure give away of my age.] The gold, as always, represents the presence of God and His comfort to her in her sadness. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of polygamy but found that the book "The Red Tent" helped me understand what it might have been like. It is an exquisitely written story. Hopefully, finishing this block will get me going on catching up with my blocks. Making these blocks is always a special treat for me because I only have to make one of each and they are such lovely blocks with special meaning.
