“ Christ Knocking”
My good friend, Peggy Aare of Wisconsin paper piecing, https://wisconsinquilting.wordpress.com/
designed the center panels and had them printed. I really appreciate her wonderful expertise and help. I added the paper piecing around the Christ figure knocking. She designed a paper pieced pattern, so I cut out the figure and appliquéd it onto the door background.
The Christ and little children panel is just the center square. I added the squares all around. This one was a particularly difficult one, and I ended up making two back to back because the recipients were baptized within a couple of months of each other.
The first one is a copy of Francis Hook’s painting, and before I could proceed I needed permission. She and her children have passed away, but I found a grandson.
The second one is a painting by Del Parson, and when I contacted him, he informed me it was property of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and they give permission for personal use
Both are approximately queen sized.
