Online Quilt Festival

Amy at parkcitygirl.blogspot is doing something new, sponsoring an online quilt festival through April 24th.
We are to choose a favorite quilt & write about it then list it on her blog.
So far there are nearly 300 quilters posting their favorites for our viewing pleasure & oh yes, Amy has lined up a list of wonderful sponsors with "door prizes" so come on & join in the fun.

I find it difficult to choose, I have many favorites but perhaps one that stands out recently [I completed it about a year ago] is the quilt I made to celebrate the ordination to the Diaconate of my friend Kris. The photo above was before I quilted it, can't seem to find the photo of the entire finished quilt[ I will keep searching!] but below are a few close-ups after quilting.





And here is a pic. of Kris with the Bishop during the ordination service.

I have made many versions in varying colors & sizes, I call it "The Resurrection", my first attempt below I dedicated to my mother.
There are others on my webshots [URL in the sidebar] that I have made for birthdays, graduations, ordinations, or a special thank you, around 20 in all I believe though I don't have photos of all of them. Occasionally I simply forget to take a photo but I also had a computer melt down a couple of years ago & lost most all of my quilt photo records.
Some "Resurrection" quilts I have made on commission like this one above.
