T Carter - Rose of Sharon - Inspired by the Rose of Sharon from the Holy Bible, Song of Solomon, I designed and pieced this quilt top for St. John's Lutheran Church, Alexandria, VA.  The women of the Creative Ministry (Donna, Cathy, Norma, Darleen Barbara and T) quilted it by hand.  We will raffle Rose of Sharon at our annual craft fair on Saturday, November 10, 2012.  Hope to see you there!
