Here's my entry for the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
Have you been over there yet?
It's amazing, I think I'm 486 or something!
Anyway I finally found somewhere big enough to hang my quilt and take some pictures.
Can you see how tiny this quilt makes my helper look?
100s and 100s of two and a half inch squares make the basis of this quilt
from the Material Obsession book.
I love love love how it's turned out. I am thrilled to bits how beautiful it is.
You like? Now where did I hang it??
I have been photographing my quilts this year on the fences around our broken city
last weekend we got back into the CBD for the first time since February,
but still a large part of our CBD is fenced off.
For my Picking up the Pieces Quilt, I chose
AMI Stadium on the $62 million dollar stand built for the Rugby World Cup
but which was wrecked on February 22.
They haven't really told us yet, but hints have been given
it seems no games will ever be played at this Stadium again.
It's wrecked. Also the turf was not insured and the liquifaction completely ruined it.
Anyway on the bright side, it makes an awesome quilt rack.
Do go and visit the Quilt Festival.
There are amazing quilts there.
Gorgeous Quilt!!!! LOVE IT! I hope you win a prize :-)

ReplyDeleteJust about the loveliest quilt I've ever seen. And the perfect name for it too. Inspired us of the stadium. How lovely to bring colour to such desolation. C.x
ReplyDeleteone word... EPIC!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. Shame that after a few short weeks of world wide news Christchurch is forgotten and we all just presume it is business as usual. Really sad to see this is not the case.
