The theme for "Hang Your Quilt Day" this May was "Remembrance". I chose to hang a quilt with stars of all shapes and sizes against a deep blue night sky background. To me it symbolizes stars representing all the souls in heaven. I did not make this quilt; I won it in the
2012 East Bay Heritage Quilters' Voices in Cloth annual show as their 2011 opportunity quilt. It is queen size and
EBHQ titled it
Thank Your Lucky Stars.
Hang Your Quilt Day BeginningsBeginning April 2020, my quilt guild members began a tradition of hanging quilts in the front of their homes on the third Saturday of the month as a source of enjoyment for the community and as a thank you for the essential workers during the pandemic. My initial post about this practice is dated
4/22/20. I find it hard to believe we are entering our second year.
Man... you do have great luck in those quilt raffles! This is gorgeous quilt, though, and I'm glad everyone who drove by got to enjoy it. I think I might recognize the sashing fabric as a batik I used for Tamara's quilt several years ago! I like that they do the hand-stitched labels too, it's fun to read who created the quilt (and to know how old it is).
