Quilting Newsletter from Block Party Studios, Inc., Nevada, Iowa

We began this year with prayers for a cure for Jeanne and printing her design for our “What Cancer Cannot Do” panel. We end the year with prayers of gratitude for her peaceful passing and with praying the psalms.

We now have a new member our Comfort of Psalms series of hand printed fabric and related patterns, the “Comfort of Psalms V: Praying the Psalms.” It uses the same size blocks, finishing to 3” X 9” rectangles, as in our original Comfort of Psalms fabric panel -- of which we have hand printed & shipped 600,000 to date! Our many thanks go to quilters at First Christian Reformed Church in Pella, Iowa, who gave us the impetus to print another Psalms fabric panel. Members there have spent the last year in focused study of these beautiful scripture tracts. Use COP V with our original Comfort of Psalms pattern and with Happy Apple Quilts Praises & Promises pattern.

Jeanne’s dear friend, Nancy Martens, has now made/received 26 of the 40 “What Cancer Cannot Do” quilts, one quilt for every year of their friendship spanning forty years, that she vowed to do to raise funds for researching cures & for the treatment of cancer. Nancy’s effort is a testimony of love.

I’m going to Cameroon on the west coast of Africa for the Christmas and New Year holidays to stay with dear friends. Our shop will be closed from Christmas Eve through New Year’s Day. However, we’ll still be shipping internet orders during that week between. All of us at Block Party Studios wish all of you a faith and family filled holiday season!
