I wish I had, had more time. There was more I wanted to do to this piece, but I had to count in drying time, so it would be done by the 24th.

I didn't get the time to take the picture at the quilt show, I just went and picked it up. So I took a picture when I got home.

It has been folded in every which way, so you maybe able to see the folds.

It was fun doing the quilt, but I am glad it's over and all the quilt shows are done for this quilt.

Now it will be on it's way to the "A Way With Words Foundation", http://www.awaywithwordsfoundation.org/ for children with cancer. They will use it as a fundraiser for their projects for the children.

Thank You to the other girls who helped make the quilt possible.

Holy Trinity

Here is my Holy Trinity piece that won First Place. It is hanging at another show in this picture.

I was not looking for it to place at the show. I didn't get a picture with the blue ribbon, but I assure you there is a first place ribbon. I really did enjoy working on this piece and working with the copper. Learning to sew on the copper is very interesting. I think metal is one of my new loves.

Check back soon, for another artistic endeavor that I am working on for "Wrap the Arts" in Youngstown, Ohio here is the link. www.artyoungstown.org

It is a 6 foot x 8 foot piece, which I have never worked on a piece this large and it's not a fabric quilt, it is on vinyl and painted.

Happy Stitching or painting,

RoseMary
