This week at ABC Wednesday, it is time for Q.
I had just received some new papers a few days ago and one sheet had a quilt design, so of course -
Q is for Quilt.
There is so much artistry in quilts - I am always amazed at the beautiful work that quilters create.
The Mennonites from the St. Jacob area near Waterloo, hold an amazing auction every May for the MCC - to raise money for their international aid work. The quilts for sale there sell for hundreds of dollars - they are always sought after.
For this week's ATC, I took the quote:
"Our lives are like
quilts – bits and
pieces, Joy and sorrow,
stitched with love"
and used the quilt background to create this ATC:

Great choice for Q - in my next life I'm going to be a quilter!!!!
There's a woman in church who makes quilts. She made one for our daughter when she was a baby *she's 9 now* and we'll keep it forever.

Definitely a good quote and collage! I have lots of family quilts & treasure each one. Have you heard of the quilts at Gee's Bend? And there is a lovely middle grade book titled Leaving Gee's Bend, by Irene Latham you might enjoy.
I have some treasured quilts handed down to me. I really don't have the patience to make them though.

Lovely quote; I so admire quilters. It takes creativity, patience and skill to make a beautiful quilt.
