I am always thrilled to participcate in
Amy's Creative Side Blogger's Quilt Festival. This spring I decided to share a quilt that is very personal to me. Someone close to me was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was very difficult news to handle and we had so many questions. The questions weren't Why Me? but When can we have this test done? When will we get the answers? When can we start treatment? Why this drug and not that drug? Who'sw the best Dr? etc, etc, etc. As a means to deal with my sadness and pain, I created the quilt that I call "Questions". It will be exhibited at
The Sacred Threads Exhibit in Northern Virginia June 22-July 4th.
The dimensions of the quilt are 12"x12". The fabrics are cotton, silk dupioni and organza. It is embellished with beads and buttons and contains digitally printed fabric. It is certainly a cathartic piece and I recommend working on a creative project to deal with any personal situation.
Be sure you check out all the other quilts. You will be totally inspired.
I love your quilt Cheryl. Maybe someday you can share tips on working with silks. I've bought some and looking forward to playing with them, but still a bit nervous.
