Description: WITH HER INCOMPARABLE TALENT FOR CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF A TIME GONE BY, RENOWNED ARTIST PAULA VAUGHAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE TIMELESS BEAUTY OF QUILTS INSPIRED BY THE BIBLE.  DEEPLY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WERE AN INTEGRAL PART OF LIFE FOR EARLY AMERICAN WOMEN, SO IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT THE IMAGES THEY HELD SO DEAR WOULD APPEAR IN THEIR QUILT PATTERNS.  IN TURN, THEIR WORK BECAME MORE THAN JUST A DISPLAY OF THEIR SEWING SKILLS, BUT HAND-STITCHED TESTAMENTS OF THEIR DEVOTION TO GOD.  ADAPTED FOR NEEDLEWORK FROM PAULA'S WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS, THESE 12 NOSTALGIC VIGNETTES FEATURE QUILTS WITH NAMES LIKE ROSE OF SHARON, JACOB'S LADDER, STAR OF BETHLEHEM, JOSEPH'S COAT, AND MORE.  ONCE YOU BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH EACH OF THESE HEARTWARMING DESIGNS, YOU'LL COME TO APPRECIATE NOT ONLY THE BEAUTIFUL HANDIWORK OF QUILTERS OF YESTERYEAR, BUT THE ENDURANCE OF THEIR FAITH AS WELL.
