Here is my entry into the festival. It is a Kimono Quilt I made for my sister when she was going through breast cancer treatments.
I needed a way to focus love and positive energy towards her. What better way to do that than to sew a quilt.
I made the obis three dimensional on each kimono.
My dear sister was thrilled with her quilt and displays it on her living room sofa. I am happy to report that she is now four years cancer free.
Thanks so much for stopping by. If you would like to join in or just enjoy the show please just hit the button below and prepare to be amazed!
Enjoy your day,
