You're at the 5th Blogger's Quilt Festival!


It's the 5th Bi-annual Blogger's Quilt Festival! Many thanks to Amy Ellis of Amy's Creative Side for gathering hundreds of quilters together to show some of their favorite quilts all in one place. Click on the logo above for a list of all the participating quilter bloggers.
The quilt I'm sharing this time is a quilt from the past. I made it in 1997 for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. I prepared a bunch of white squares for the girls who came to her party to color on. Then I put them together into the quilt. The flowers, flying geese, spool and bowtie blocks all have 3-D components in them. The quilt is tied, not quilted. You can see the little white dots in some places. By now the quilt has been well used. It's been washed many times. I've even slept under it while at my daughter's home! For the back of the quilt I pieced together some scraps and appliqued the cursive letters of her name in Hebrew.

Important Note: I like to reply to as many of everyone's nice comments that I can fit in, but some of you are no-reply commenters. This means that your email address is not enabled in the profile of your Google account, so it does not show up in the header of your comment. If any of you are wondering why you never get any replies to your comments on blogspot blogs, then check your Google profile and enable your email address. Or, you can put your email address in the body of your comment.

    Debbie this is brilliant - I love a quilt that tells a story! It's so beautiful, I love the corners too, and the back is stunning. What a gorgeous way to commemorate such a special event!
