The title of the quilt God's Promise is taken from Matthew 6:26 in the Bible ("Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?").

"This quilt was a labor of love, created as a gift for my daughter Maya and my son-in-law Kareem on their fifth wedding anniversary."

The first block features Gye Nyame, an Adinkra symbol from the Akan people of Ghana. Recognizable by its bold, curved form, it expresses the omnipotence and eternal presence of God. ——Spiritual Meaning

Forget-Me-Not: Found in South America/Asia/Oceana

Flower language: Everlasting memory/Sincere and eternal friendship

My story ⬇️

When I was in Shanghai, I often bought flowers. Forget-me-not is one of the most commonly bought flowers in our family. At this year's graduation ceremony, I would like to give my good friend a blue forget-me-not, which corresponds to her hair color. It's a pity that June is not the flowering time of it, at least in Shanghai, I can't find it in nearby flower shops.

Seeing this bunch of flowers reminds me of that night full of farewell and blessings, as if to say, when you see it, please think of me.
