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. Reproduced by permission of Walker Books,
Ltd,
London. Published in the US by Candlewick Press, Cambridge, MA."
