“A Thousand Flowers” Comes Home
Here’s what our Coastal Quilters’ Grocery Store Challenge looked like hanging at the Pine Tree Quilters’ Guild show in Augusta, Maine, this past July. You can see my entry, “A Thousand Flowers”–it’s the third from the left, top row. I wrote a blog entry on this quilt earlier, so you can take a look at that if you want to see a close-up. On the right sidebar, search on quilts. I used Green Hive Honey Farm as my food product–local UNHEATED honey which is made by bees from “A Thousand Flowers.”
Sarah Ann Smith staged this presentation with her usual flair. Viewers were asked to try to identify which quilt represented what product from the grocery store. Answers lay beneath the strips of fabric on the cards below. Sarah is a nationally recognized quilt teacher and has a fabulous web site, which you can visit to see her amazing and exciting work: http://www.sarahannsmith.com/index.php. Sarah’s quilt is to the right of mine.
And, here’s “A Thousand Flowers” in the entryway to my quilt room. Home at last.
