9/11 Bead Quilt
Many of you know that I enjoy mixing beads into my crochet on occasion. Actually, on quite a few occasions! That is one of the reasons I’m excited to be teaching next month at the Orlando Needlework Show. The Bead and Art Glass Fest and the Memories Scrapbooking Expo will be going on at the same place at the same time with a joint vendor market.
Just think - all that yarn and beads too in one place, just waiting for me! I can hardly wait to start shopping.
In between teaching and shopping I will save some time to view the 9/11 Bead Quilt. When I heard that the Bead Quilt would be on exhibit at the Orange County Convention Center, I visited www.BeadQuilt.org to learn more about the Quilt.
The cover of the limited edition catalog states “Beadworkers from around the globe united to express their feelings of hope and healing through art”. As I viewed parts of the slideshow online I was struck by the obvious love and devotion stitched into each square. I’m sure viewing the Quilt in person will be a powerful experience.
