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:

to me a quilt and a tapestry are totally different. Too bad your minister
didn't follow your lead.

I agree. I just saw a very large tapestry being made at one of the castles
in Scotland last year. It is certainly not constructed anything like a
quilt! Does the minister think a tapestry sounds more elegant than a quilt?
You made a very, very beautiful quilt! And I think that's what it should be
called. But that's just me.
