The’ Celebrating Dove’ is a design for use in my teaching workshops. Designed for beginners, it is a popular choice for its versatility and simplicity. This flexible design, could be used perhaps as a wedding quilt, a baptism quilt, a memory quilt, a celebratory quilt or a religious quilt. Here I have surrounded the white dove with quilted doves, trailing the ribbons of love and hope and peace. The dove is the universal symbol of peace, hope and the Christian symbol of the Holy Spirit.
