COLD FAITHFUL ORANGE HEIRLOOM PEACE
 

in my mind....Can't put them together to come up with a story quilt, all just words floating in my head.

COLD - I put blue and green fabric to give out a "cool" feeling

FAITHFUL - loyal, determination, reliable: good traits I like in a person

ORANGE - this warm, happy color makes me think of round objects (orange fruit, melon, pumpkins)

HEIRLOOM - Soething old and handed down ... so I dyed a piece of lace from an old shirt and the pieces of orange marbled fabrics to give a quilt something that was part of me

PEACE - a very good word. United, togetherness is what I wanted to get when I put all the fabric, beads and stitching in the quilt. The moving words all coming out from my mind...full of energy...not contained in one square, trying to empress life within a design

hand piece and applique, hand embellished, machine quilted
