Last Friday night, February 21, 2014, was the grand reveal for the
Common Threads Indigo Quilt project in the Parish Hall at
Christ Church Cathedral.
The hall looked amazing - the quilts were wonderful, and huge kudos to Sheila and Thomas for having the vision and energy to pull it off!
There was music, food, blessings and celebrations. There was a ribbon cutting,
 |
| everyone involved circled the hall, the red ribbon went all around, and we all got to cut the ribbon, and save a piece |
and even a song to commemorate the event.
Here are a sampling of some of the quilts. This is a permanent display in the Parish Hall, so the next time you are in downtown Vancouver, BC see if you can't spare a few minutes to go to Christ Church Cathedral, and take a look around.

Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of all the labels, but have added the information that I know, or could make out, and will edit as I get more information.
Have you participated in a community quilt project? I would love to hear about it!
Happy quilting!
