Not in Part, But the Whole

I'm so honored that my quilts are on display for the February-April "Art in the Auditorium" series at our church (Peninsula Bible Church.)

About the title:  In mid-January, I was trying to come up with an appropriate title, but nothing seemed right.  The last Sunday in the month we sang the hymn “It Is Well With my Soul,” at church.  As we sang the third verse, I felt like the Lord was giving me the name for the exhibit.  

“My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought? My sin, not in part, but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!” 

The quilts are made up of many small parts/pieces, but it is the whole that tells an individual story.  Beyond that, the ten quilts tell the bigger story of God's faithfulness throughout my life.  Praise the Lord, O my soul!
