Miriam Higginson’s In the Beginning Bible Quilt
Bible Quilt by Miriam Higginson
I did a search on Google to see what Bible quilts I might find. This beautiful quilt was stitched by Miriam Higginson about ten years ago as a wedding gift to her daugher. It was made from a borrowed pattern so we regret that we are unable to locate or pass along purchasing information for this pattern.
