I have had a lovely Mothers Day as we went as a family It was DS suggestion we go as he wanted photos of me and Abi with the quilt I made . It was history in the making as I know for sure I won't be around to see another Olympic Games here in the UK but hopefully Abigail will and she will have her own little bit of proof that she was at something OLYMPIC in 2012.
We also got the oppurtunity to find out what team was getting my quilt called STARS UNITED and it's the Paralympic team of Mozambique .
My Pumpkin Patcher's and Shipton Quilters who I am a member of also made quilts and the Pumpkin Patchers Quilt called UNION STARS is going to the Bahamas and the SHIPTON ALL STARS quilt to Mauritania.
It adds another interest for me now to see these teams in the opening cermony and watch how they perform throughout the games.

ReplyDeleteA treasured memory in the making! Love the quilts and your grand daughter is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt you made and the ones you took part in. How neat that they displayed them all for everyone to see. History in the making.
ReplyDeleteThe neutral colored star quilt is very nice. Would be good for a man.
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling to have your quilt chosen to feature in the Olympics, I think Abigail looks well impressed, myself!
ReplyDeleteBTW I made the calico wreath and have posted pix today.
The photo of you and Abigail and the quilt is a real keeper. How special for your quilt to have such a special purpose--the display and eventually home to Mozambique. I find the whole concept of quilts going to the visiting teams such a wonderful project. Bravo to the organizers and to the quilters who are participating in it.
