Actually I like to call these quilts I make, Cross Quilts, a cross to represent the passing of a life of someone we love. I hope to be able to give it to the family this week.
In some Native American cultures, feathers were thought to mean ascension and spiritual evolution to a higher plane. In Christianity, feathers represent virtues, three feathers bound together represent hope, faith and charity.
You did an awesome job with this quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the feather quilt, the quilt and the meaning behind the quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Nancy. I love that it combines layers of meaning in the fabrics and in a life lived. Thank you
ReplyDeleteWhen my father passed away a very close family friend presented my mother with a feather, then sang a traditional song. It was amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts really are touching.
Nancy, I truly love those and the designs you made with the fabrics, so much meaning for the families.
