Bloggersโ Quilt Festival :: Spring 2011 starts today! This is a fun opportunity to see loads of quilts without leaving the comfort of your own home. If you have a blog, I hope you might join in the fun, too.
Since Mother’s Day was just a few days ago, I thought this would be a good time to share my “Broken Dishes” quilt.
Traditional quilt blocks and their whimsical names have always captured my imagination, and the Broken Dishes block especially caught my attention. I liked the simplicity of the block, too. I had this image in my mind for several years before I made this quilt. I prefer making quilts with positive messages. With this quilt, I hope to express the message that love and forgiveness conquers all. You can read more about my “Broken Dishes” quilt on this page.
It is so beautiful! It does look like a painting, and I am so inspired to try something new now-thank you!
wow. I had no idea you could even MAKE fabric look like that! amazing. It’s a beautiful quilt. And I love the loving spirit in that quilt, especially as I am a clumsy daughter who has broken lots of her mother’s dishes and I have a 5 year old daughter who is itching to help me in the kitchen.
Thanks, Margo! BTW, I highly recommend Tupperware — I’d much rather value my two sweet daughters than my dishes ๐
This is a truly amazing and wonderful quilt. What a work of art!
What an amazing quilt, such a work of art.
Hi Maria ๐
the image on your quilt is very heart warming. I like the pattern of the back ground quilt too. I think that this is a quilt which should be framed and hung on a wall, rather than just laid upon a bed ;->
The quilt that I am linking up I made last spring for our grand daughter. If your interested, you can find it here –> http://thebzhousethatlovebuilt.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-thrifty-quilt.html
Thanks for sharing your masterpiece (!!) with all of us!
Thanks! Yes, this one is definitely intended for the wall.
Oh what an absolutely beautiful image! I was drawn to the thumbnail in the BQF post right away, and now that I see it closer, the layers of pattern are just amazing. Thank you for sharing!!
What a sweet quilt. I love the shading in the broken dishes block.
I remember seeing this in a magazine a while back, and being amazed! It is lovely! ๐
What a beautiful quilt! I love that it also tells a story… and such a positive story. Thank you for your beautiful work.
This is beautiful and very inspirational. You deserve to be proud.
Oh my goodness, this is such a beautiful quilt!
