God Head, or Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

While allowing my quilting hand muscles  to rest today,
I pulled some commercial blues
and black and white fabrics that I have 
been collecting for quite some time.

17 Inch Q-Snap Frame Woes - Day 63 A Block A Day

I realized my 17 inch square Q-Snap frame is too large
 and is awkward to hand quilt. 
So I'm resting my arm after these last 2 days of quilt blocks. 
I have reconfigured my frame sections with smaller ones
 and will continue to build up my hand muscles.
