Memories to Heirlooms

Remember When. . . everyone was welcome?

quilt with a column of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.  Each column is separated by a thin strip of white.  about 1/5 of the way down from the top the columns are broken with a  row of white that has a large blue welcome flanked by two crosses.
Recently I was asked to make a rainbow welcome quilt for the Akron Zion Luthern Church.  Of course, I was thrilled to help support a mission of making everyone feel safe and incluced.

The Rainbow

Pieces of fabric, one each in colors of the rainbow, folded and placed in order.
strips of colored fabric being sewn together with a thinner strip of white being sewing between each color.
​The fabric was torn into strips and sewn together to form the rainbow. Once completed,  a section of the rainbow was cut to insert the "Welcome" piece.

The Welcome

deep yellow cross bordered in black and blue letters being  ironed down to white fabric using fusable webbing.
Blue welcome letters being machine appliquéd (sewn) to the white background fabric.
​Fusing the crosses and letters to background fabric first, made it much easier to appliqué.

Quilting

​My clients provided a quilting design for each column of the rainbow.

​The background of the welcome was quilted all over (stippled) to provide interest and dimension.

The Result

The quilt hanging so it can be seen from the front door of the Church.

The quilt is now a warm welcome to all who enter this Church and their Facebook page!  I hope that soon there will be a day when people wonder why this was necessary.

I love that my talents serve others.  Usually, I collaborate with clients on very personal projects which are meaningful to them and their loved ones.  This project was unique because the quilt sends a message of love to the community.  

Feel free to contact me to get started on a project that is meaningful to you!
