Luke 22:54-62


 This was created as an art piece for one of the weeks leading up to Easter. Our pastor reaches out to the artists in our church on a regular basis to invite us to let different Bible passages inspire our creativity and share it with the rest of the congregation. I don't always have time to participate, but with this one, I could see so clearly in my head what I wanted to do that I took the opportunity.

The quilt grew from scraps and a few purchased fabrics on the living room floor while I was teaching math to Gloria, and other similar tasks!

I'll add some more photos once I get it back (it was displayed on Feb 26, and will be again on Easter Sunday).

Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”  Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” Jesus said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.” ~ Luke 22:31-34

Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest’s house, and Peter was following at a distance. And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.”  But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. ~ Luke 22:54-62
