It is the first time that I take part at a quilt challenge. I was surprised how much I gained from this – and a large part had nothing to do with quilting. My team mate is Paula. In the first few mails we discussed about what our quilts should have in common. We decided to reflect in them something from our hometown. Beside this we selected some colors which should dominate our work. After a very short time we became friends. More and more we wrote about our home, husbands, families. One day I got a largish parcel from U.S. It was from Paula: She had sewed two dresses and some bibs for my grandchildren. Quilted bibs! Our children were fascinated from them. In the meantime I designed, sewed, quilted. I did not expect that the rather small quilt took the same amount of time like a large one! But I enjoyed every hour in my quilting chamber. My quilt represents the Pauliner church here in Leipzig. The original building from 1231 survived the WWII without any damage. But it did not survive the socialism: It was dynamited in 1968 to make place for modern, "socialistic" buildings. After the reunification there arose plans to build a church again at this place. It took many years to get it succeeded. But last year it was finished. It's has two virtues at once: The shape reminds the old church, but it is a modern and distinctive building.
