Hope by Margy Johnson
There are many things that happen every single day. Headlines and the news come at us continuously and every now and then you find a positive article, plants grow, birds fly, life continues with it's joys and pains. I wanted to capture hope; its what the flowers represent, all that potential and hope encased in a small seed.
It was interesting scouring the news papers to find positive headlines and pictures to build up the first layer of the quilt and create a record for that period of time. Matching up fabrics and then threads, all had to balance and co-ordinate to complete the picture
So many meanings in this quilt, I like it!
ReplyDeleteThis was a difficult idea to put across but you did it very well.
ReplyDeleteHope appears steadfast by your imagery. Love the text background too.

ReplyDeleteI love your idea about Hope and I love what you did with it! Very nice quilt.
ReplyDeleteA simple image very well executed. The background is particularly interesting and I would like to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and interesting. You captured Hope so well.
ReplyDeletehi Margy,
ReplyDelete...Love this piece.
Gorgeous details while keeping a crisp clean graphic.
Did you screen print the background?
Those whispers of text are intriguing.
This one needs to be looked at again and again.
This is a wonderfully executed piece, Margy. I wish I could hold it up close so I could see the "whispers of text" (as Heidi elegantly puts it).
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - it creates such a warmth of feeling and I really love the way you have executed the background.
