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 Lita |
