A Quilt to Inspire

By Judith
 on May 19, 2013

It's that time of the year again for the twice yearly Bloggers' Quilt Festival.

This is when bloggers from all over the world get the chance to submit up to 2 quilts across a variety of categories, and bloggers get the chance to vote for their favourites.

One of the categories is Favourite Group/Bee Quilt and I thought a worthy entry would be a quilt recently made by Bee Blessed, a charity quilting bee based in Belfast & supported by International bloggers.  Our Flickr group is here.

The majority of this quilt was pieced by Sarah (co-founder of Bee Blessed).  It was made for the son of one of our Bee Blessed members, who broke his back in December following a skiing accident.  He is making a remarkable recovery, & despite being unable to walk, he has an amazingly positive mindset and is inspiring all those around him.

The words in the quilt were chosen to reflect the courage and hope that this young man gives out, but also to spur him on and encourage him in the tough days ahead.
