ABOUT THE QUILT:
My goal was to create an art quilt filled with brightly colored, joyful scenes of the Book of Mormon, drawn in a way that children would enjoy.

I designed all the blocks myself, with the exception of some which were drawn by my 17-year-old son, Adam Winsor.    Many of the people and animals in the blocks, and Nephi's Ship, were adapted from books illustrated by Marcia Williams.  For the use of those figures and the ship, I have received written permission.

The following credit line must appear with my quilt:
"Some illustrations in this quilt have been adapted from the books JOSEPH AND HIS MAGNIFICENT COAT OF MANY COLORS and THE AMAZING STORY OF NOAH'S ARK retold and illustrated by Marcia Williams.
