I will always be grateful to Sesame Street for assuring my four year old son that our new single parent family of three was a “real” family! The word family means something different to each person. Some people were lucky enough to be born into a picture perfect family, others as adults created their own loving family and some chose special people unrelated to become a family. True, some families are toxic, but a healthy family shares several traits no matter the form.
“Family is Forever” is a beautiful quilt celebrating the characteristics of healthy families all over the world.
Nancy Halvorsen is the quilt designer but our own Janis R created this show stopper!
The fabric, all quality cotton fabric, is the perfect color and design for each component. The gray background enhances the colors and gives the quilt a contemporary look.
The attention to detail —wow!
The quilt is “custom quilted” which means the machine quilting was designed for this particular quilt…. flowers around the center block, meandering in the open spaces between blocks and outline around the frame. The quilter must hand guide the machine for every stitch.
My phone photos do not due this quilt justice. “Family is Forever” will be displayed in the narthex of First United Methodist Church, Wichita, this Sunday from 10- 12:30.
The quilt is 65″ x 65″. It will be in the auction, but you can insure it comes to your family for $600—what a treasure to pass down to future generations. SOLD
