I've made lots of quilts over the past several years and I'm satisfied in that department. I've recently been yearning to get back to my weird, odd, more abstract creative side of sewing.
This yardage of girls called Me & My Friend for Tilda Fabrics, designed by Tone Finnanger, caught my attention after being inspired by some face art in a magazine called Uppercase.
I wanted to stitch circles around their faces in a messy manner. My free motion quilting is so appalling, it fit the requirement quite nicely. By the end of this quilting process, my circles were almost becoming too NEAT!
I was only planning to add a few short phrases. It wasn't enough for me. I love words and I love numbers. I used paper ephemera to print to fabric to add words and numbers throughout. Positive, happy words.
This wall quilt began as just a fabric art piece. I soon realized it felt like my life. My mostly messy life that has come full circle to a very happy life again.
