| The Pruitt family with the HH Hall Building quilt |
This year, Karan was the featured artist and her quilts were amazing!!! She was one of the artists that made a panel of the building and she gave up space in her show to display this quilt.
The eight of us presented the quilt to the Pruitts who are the owners of the building at 3pm on the opening day of the show. They were amazed at how realistic and detailed the piece was. There was discussion that the piece would hang in their office rather than on one of the walls in the building because in their office was a better place to honor the art! Wasn't that a nice comment?
I posted about my part of the project:

| Val, Bev, Terry, Karan, Rosemary, Lynn, Virginia, Sharry who created the quilt. We're lined up in the order of the panel that we created. |
This was the first time some of the group had participated in such a collaboration. In August, the pieces were due. Bev trimmed the pieces and applied the binding. I love her choice of the striped fabric! Karan applied all the hanging sleeves and Val added all the labels.
In September, we shared our creation with the guild. It was the first time that I had seen all the pieces. The conditions weren't great for a photo then though! I wish you could view this quilt close up so that you could see all the different techniques used as well as all of the details. Each of the panels is just amazing!

Like the third panel from the left the best. Whoever did that is amazing and has a cold child all alone in England needing something to stay warm as the temperatures plummet.
Nicole, I'm chuckling . . .no, I'm laughing as I read your comment. No wonder you do so well, you always stay on the POINT! I believe London has places where you can purchase a blanket while your warm quilt is under inspiration. . .
It is amazing to see all the individual sections and how well they all come together. Wonderful comments from the Pruitts. Thanks for sharing the finished quilt and glad to see the other faces to go with their panel. Nice Job Ladies!!--Connie
Thanks, Connie! I look forward to seeing it hang in the "place" of honor next year for the featured artist show! Although. . .I think it might be in the CCQ show in April!
It's wonderful to see these all together at last! You all did a great job, and I hope it will be appreciated for many years to come!
Terry, the group quilt turned out GREAT!!! The new owners must be thrilled.
Monica, after I had finished my panel, I found waiting to see the other panels a hard task!! I wish you could see it close up! I too hope it will be appreciated for many years to come!
Janice, thank you and yes, the owners were just amazed both in how realistic the piece is as well as how unique it is!
Absolutely wonderful finish of all the panels and how they fit so well. Well done.
Nicole, thanks for stopping by. It was amazing to see all the panels hung together!
That is really cool. So neat to see how the panels fit so well together, yet are each different. Really great.
Thanks for stopping by, Carol! It was amazing to see how close to the photo each panel was and miraculous that they fit together so well! I wish more people could see the project in person.
This is a super cool project! On behalf of the FAL hosts, thank you for joining us!
Izzy, Thanks for dropping in for a visit. It was a cool project especially because we didn't know what others did or used until we saw the pieces together. Thank you for being a FAL host.
