\"Tree<\/a><\/p>\n

This week we are having our own personal Apple Blossom<\/a> Festival in front of the eQuilter building. We have a whole block of crab apple trees that explodes with deep pink blossoms every year, and if you are local I urge you to place an order for pickup so you can come picnic under our Apple Blossom<\/a>s! Last week as they exploded into bloom, I had a friend come to visit who actually went out and hugged one of the trees, because they are SO beautiful.<\/p>\n

This week I am featuring a spellbinding quilt from the “Water is Life<\/a>” exhibit at the UN in Geneva, which was extended twice but today is the last day. This art quilt – the “Tree of Life” – was made by artist Lin Schiffner.<\/p>\n

I have set the quilt inside a collage frame of Springtime<\/a> fabrics that are now in stock. The embroidered words on the bottom read “The Miraculous Web of Interconnection”.<\/p>\n

Because of my quilt in this exhibit<\/a>, I have been invited down to Southwest Colorado this weekend, to meet with a Navajo community that has been affected by the poisoning of the Animas River last August. (The topic of my quilt.)<\/p>\n

You never know where your quiltmaking will take you!<\/p>\n
