The dedication for the quilt that I have just finished is scheduled for Sunday and tonight, I have been told that the Minister prefers to call it a "tapestry" which by definition is 'a heavy, hand-worked fabric with pictures or designs formed by threads inserted according to the requirements of color (Websters Dictionary).
I have replied that I totally disagree with this decision. It's not all in a name afterall. Therefore the suggested dedication is as follows:
"This beautiful heritage tapestry which began as a 75th anniversary project has been a labour of love and a work in progress for five years. Thousands of pieces of fabric have been carefully chosen and lovingly pieced together to represent the fabric and core of our church history and community. The threads that hold this creation together represent the thread of Christian faith that has held us together as Christians for more than 2000 years."
I know that I made a quilt which by definition is 2 pieces of fabric held together with stitches to hold a padding between them for warmth and comfort of the soul.
You can see the quilt - er tapestry - no quilt here:
