Have you ever heard of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival?
I hadn’t until this year. People introduce their quilts virtually into one of several categories. I thought I would throw my hat in the ring for a couple quilts I have made over the last year. If you’ve seen these quilts before please forgive me for the repeat posting.
Into the Original Design Category, I decided to enter my “Life in the ER Quilt”. It is a quilt design based on a painting I saw on Pinterest. I made it out of Marcus Organic Cotton Canvas which gives it a very solid and bold feel. It gets it’s name from the fact that it reminds me of the ER I work in with the central “heart” of the ER in red and the beds on either side. This quilt was beautifully quilted by Emily Sessions.
Happy Crafting everyone!

Very striking and a great metaphor! It also looks a lot like a ribcage and reminds me of how delicate we all are. Great work!
My friend, you know how to inspire! Just got a peak at your mini quilt entry and Wowza! I look forward to seeing what else you create.
Lovely quilt, and I especially like the name connection. Having the name as a description really pulls the whole thing together for me!
Thanks! You should enter your color weaving quilt if you haven’t already. It is a winner!
Goodness, somehow I was just enjoying seeing everyone else’s creations in the quilt festival and it didn’t even cross my mind to enter! I’ll definitely consider it; thanks so much for thinking so highly of my work and for the push! 🙂
Great quilt. I love a bold color, patterned quilt. You sure nailed this one!
Thanks! Can’t wait to peak around your blog
Hillary, I’m so glad you’ve entered the festival. I’ve admired your quilts as original, modern quilts. Your designs are bold and striking. Love this one!
Hi Sonia, you are very kind. Thanks so much!

Will they let you will first and second places? Wonderful entries!
You always make me laugh. 🙂 love that. Win/lose who cares . . . The fun is in the creating.
Beautiful! Love the quilting details.:)
Thanks so much Audrey!
The thing I like best about quilts is their graphic quality, and this hits a home run. I love, love, love, love it. Well done!
Thanks so much Lynne

When I saw the first image and the heading together, I immediately thought ‘scalpels’. Ok, so I have never seen a scalpel, but …
It is beautifully dramatic.
Interesting. It, does look a little like scalpels and also there is the red like blood. Definitely a medical connection. 🙂
Delightful! Bold and unique! Love the colors! Thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU for taking time to look and comment Jenny.
