Grab a glass of ice tea or a cup of coffee and check out all the lovely quilts at the 2010 Quilt Festival !
This is my entry for the Spring quilt festival. I made this for a challenge in 2000. Each member of our quilt guild was given a fat quarter of blue fabric with 2000 printed on it. We were to make any kind of quilt out of it that we desired. Since bright colors are a bit of a challenge for me, I just did not know what to do with it. It seemed to need stars, so I started with the pieced stars. Then angels came to mind, and these were appliqued on. I embroidered the phrase: "For every soul, there is a guardian to watch over it".
It was fun to make, I won the challenge, and it now hangs in my sewing room.
