Sometimes you finish a quilt, and it tells you where it wants to go. The Grand Prismatic wanted to live with
Val in Nova Scotia. I "met" Val about 2-1/2 years ago when she
sent me the most incredible letter thanking me for inspiring her to get creative in her quiltmaking. She has since gone on to make
this stunning beauty. I enjoy her risk-taking and her irreverence. She's been having a rough go lately, and I felt she needed a hug, so I stuffed the quilt in a box and sent it on.
It's the Holiday Season, and it's important to cherish and be thankful for the ones we love. Sometimes a quilt is the next best thing if you live faraway.
I've added a page to the blog. It's called
Quilts and their Owners, and the link at the top of this blog. Many of my quilts are arty quilts that aren't meant to be used, but this group of quilts is definitely part of the "wrap me up and feel the love" variety. Enjoy.
