Here is what Jamie has to say about the project:
 |
| I am working with Furnishing Hope of Orange County. Beth Phillips heads up this non-profit organization that works with interior designers to decorate, furnish and create amazing interiors for houses that Habitat for Humanity builds in Orange County. I am coordinating the making of small house quilts for each family in a San Juan Capistrano tract that H4H is building. Each wall quilt will be 12"wide by 16"long and will reflect the interior colors and style of each individual house. I have asked 13 artists to participate in this project with me. Furnishing Hope is on Facebook too, if you want to learn more about what they do or make a donation. |
This is the quilt I created for the project.
Please visit Jamie's blog for additional images of quilts in the project.
An article about Habitat homes in San Juan Capistrano - and a video - so be sure to watch that part. Beth Phillips was Jamie's contact person. http://www.ocregister.com/news/homes-267066-habitat-marines.html
A final note: an Open House was held on Thursday, 9/23/10. Jamie Fingal and Felisa Lyons attended, and said that the event was very moving. Jamie was kind enough to photograph the quilt I donated in its new home:
