Block 21 to 29 Women of the Bible

My MoJo has almost left me this past week, a bad attack of IBS has meant very little sewing or anything else has happened around here.

I managed to add to a few blocks of Women of the Bible quilt that I am making.
Top Row left to right
Priscilla, she and her husband met the Apostle Paul, Romans 16: 3-5
Mary Magdalene, she was the first witness of the resurrection of Christ, John 20: 14-16
Anna, a very aged widow who recognised the baby Jesus while she was praying in the temple. Luke 2: 38

Middle row left to right
Hannah, second wife of Elkanah prayed for a child as she was unable to conceive 1 Samuel 2: 1
Shiprah & Puah, were Egyptian midwives Exodus 1: 19
Crippled Woman: healed by Jesus on the Sabbath Luke 13: 12-13

Bottom row left to right
Tabitha, a good Jewish woman dedicated to making clothes for the poor  Acts, 9: 36
Delilah, cut off Samson’s hair. Judges 16: 15
Samaritan Woman, met by Jesus when he asked her for a drink of water. John4: 13-14

This is such an interesting project, reading the stories of these women and making the different blocks. I have eleven more blocks and then lots of ‘filler’ blocks to be able to put it together.
