This is my offering.It also didnt exactly end up as I hoped...The safety house was meant to be glowing..sort of offering the promise of a new beginning. Also photographing quilts is harder than I realised..it looks different in person! Anyway the idea came from snippets on the news and in my life to do with fostering.There have been several shocking and awful and sad cases of child neglect lately..and DCP over here have released amazing stats about the increasing nos of children being removed from their families plus I have been to some meetings lately and heard some tales.
So the child is black with quilting in coloured thread just waiting to shine under new care...the background is meant to head from darkness to light....(and not be the beach as Liezza said it was! ) And the case is his past that he takes to his new Beginning!
I do like your quilt - very deep!!! But soooo true
ReplyDeleteThat coloured thread is nice to sew with...goes in the bobbin easy just like they said!!!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see yours close up...the sun is lovely!!!!And I have that first cuppa right here next to me!
Cheers
If you put that thread in the bobbin, how do you know where to sew cos you'd have to be sewing from the back wouldn't you?
ReplyDeleteyep...I did an outline and sewed in that....the sewing was meant to be jagged and harsh and is on the back but not quite so much on the front(bobbin) side.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is certainly close to your heart isn't it! beautiful..
