We continue our selection of quilts exhibited in 2019 at the Houston International Quilt Festival as part of their 45th Anniversary, the Sapphire Anniversary. The Sapphire Celebration exhibit is described as:
"Quilters have long used the color blue to symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Sapphire is also the chosen gem to celebrate 45th anniversaries—which International Quilt Festival is doing this year (2019)! These new and antique blue and white quilts will be suspended from the ceiling in a spectacular and unforgettable display."
To be a part of the exhibit, quilts had to fit the following criteria:
- Entries may be Traditional, Modern or Art.
- Entries must have been made between 1974 and 2019.
- The minimum size is 50” x 50”
Please enjoy the forty-fourth quilt from the exhibition by Deborah A. Jacoby.
Title of Quilt: Deb's Storm At Sea
Quilter's Name: Deborah A. Jacoby
I am so touched by your story, I lost my husband after his year long battle against stage 4 cancer, just under 2 years ago. My heart goes out to you.
I worked on an applique quilt that I was hand quilting during that time, but unlike you I haven't been able to work on it again. Someday I will finish it.
But like you, not a day goes by that I don't miss him.
He was my heart.
