“Sky Lanterns”
MARGARET L. ABRAMSHE • ST. GEORGE, UTAH • 32" x 49"
“‘Sky Lanterns’ are small hot air balloons. They are said to be named for a Chinese military strategist and used to
carry a message that troops were in dire straits. Today they are used in festivals around the world. My favorite festival
is held in Taiwan. People send their sky lanterns aloft to the heavens with written prayers and messages to God. The
sky lantern in this quilt is symbolic of the ability to rise above earthly troubles and float into the heavens.”
