| Katie Pidgeon, Spin the Wheel of Chance and "Make Your Mark" |
Spin the wheel
of chance and “Make Your Mark”
This has probably been my most challenging quilt theme. Throughout the past few weeks, I have been
thinking if I have “made my mark” and I’m not sure. I don’t think we are the
makers of our fate; rather, it’s the people around us that ultimately defines
who we become. So, my quilt is a wheel
of chance you can see at fairs. You
never know where it will land, but sometimes you need to spin again.
Techniques: hand embroidery (French knots, running
stitch, whipped running stitch)
Materials: whole cloth, pencil crayons, shiva
sticks, buttons, perle cotton thread

Size: 15 inches x 15 inches

Katie, this is fun but carries quite a powerful message. Love all the hand quilting and playful colours
ReplyDeleteI like the sentiment. Beautiful handstitching as always.
ReplyDeleteI love all the different stitches. A fun piece with an interesting message.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea! I find the question marks make me wonder what your other personas might turn out to be - pole dancer? arctic explorer? You have captured the multi-tasking dilemma beautifully with your stitching.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt piece. The stitching and shiva lettering add variety and the question marks draw one in. I also think it is an interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteFun idea!
ReplyDeleteYou're totally right, Pamela; we leave our mark in so many ways depending on the different aspects of our life. Love the notion of how chance affects how we make our mark, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and interesting interpretation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sentiment.
