Quilting for a wonderful cause

My sister Lynne has always been sewing ever since I can remember.



She lives in North Carolina now, and she recently contributed one of her quilts, which she created especially for Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative.



The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative have been auctioning off quilts to raise money for the awareness and fund research through art.



The quilts were part of a traveling show, which reported selling 969 Quilts sold in Houston on Twitter yesterday.



Lynne's art quilting is beautiful, and I am so proud of her for donating such a lovely quilt. She called this quilt, Susan's bench.



My other sister, Susan lives in Pennsylvania. Susan is a fiber artist and took a beautiful photograph of this bench, which she gave to Lynne.



Lynne transferred the photograph to fabric, and accented the details with other fabrics, adding stitching to highlight areas of interest. I love that shadow. She added the words Forget-Me-Not in the quilt.



She recently sent me some lovely fall photographs.



I always notice how Lynne's sense of design whether in a photograph, creating other beautiful creations, always reflects her love of patterns.



The song for this post is Moonglow. Lynne will be opening up a shop soon on Etsy and selling her gorgeous creations. Susan has a shop called PA Fiber Artist, and just opened up a second shop called Boutique de Bijou where she is designing jewelry.

I have shared my sister Lynne's lovely pillows and quilts before, like her lovely black and white toile pillow and quilt that she created for me as a gift.



It's a funny thing about life. My sister's and I used to make each other our gifts when we were young, we dreamed of having our things for sale in one shop. We each traveled down different paths through our creativity and now we will all be meeting on Etsy.
