It is mainly hand quilted and features new and recycled fabrics.
There is a poem to accompany this quilt which you can read directly below the pics.
This quilt is for a child who needs
some very special care indeed
whose life in some way isn't free
to run with dreams like you and me.
The fabrics you will find right here
are chosen for their charm and cheer
one is recycled, others new
and one is of a tie-dyed hue!
The pastel check, a mother's dress,
came up quite good when washed and pressed!
But you may find some threads are teased
where little children hugged her knees!
The playful pictures in the centre
are a happy place a child can enter,
and I can see their dreams take flight
while one child flies her small red kite.
And looking closely you will see
each stitch is not formed perfectly,
but thinking of a young child's fears
caused me sometimes to sew through tears.
So is it perfect? No it's not!
And does it matter? Not a jot!
It's stitched with joy and bound by love
and prayers for comfort from above.
