"Forget-me-not
We love Janet and we love to sew! This quilt created and sewn by AnnaRae McAllister and Elise Larsen, cam about because of our friendship, love of quilting, love for Janet and AnnaRae's trip to Alaska. Janet loves the forget-me-not flower because of the many spiritual and loving meanings associated with it . The forget-me-not fabric came from Alaska and became the focal point for our quilt. (Alaska's state flower is the forget-me-not) All three of us love "all things blue and white." We wanted each block to represent Janet in some way and show what she loves.
Block #1 janet loves the mountains, cross country skiing, hiking and being in nature. She loves MIA Camp Shalom
Block #2 Cathedral windows and the cathedral shape are part of Janet's home decor.
Block #3 Janet's home and yard abound in beauty and flowers and beautiful colors. In addition to all things blue and white, Janet loves the color red.
Block #4 Each year at girl's camp Janet loves to look and the stars. She loves all things heavenly.
Block #5 Janet loves hiking to Lone Pine at Camp Shalom every year.
Block #6 The blue and white traditional log cabin quilting block represents Janet's cabin in Heber and our love for quilting and "all things blue and white."
Block #7 Janet loves the Savior and has a Jim Shore nativity similar to the one pictures in this block.
Block #8 Friends love Janet and Janet loves firends--lots of them! This block is a friendship star.
Block #9 The blue and white heart represents Janet's beautiful spiritual heart. We have both learned so many wonderful things from Janet.
Block #10 The "forget-me-not" block is for the Savior, family, and friends, and Elder Uctdorf's talk in RS 2011
Block #11 AnnaRae, Elise and Janet at Shalom 2011 "I Believe."
Block #12 All three of us love working i Young Women and love the YW values.
