What a capacious word
LOVE.
It has so many meanings: love to children, love to man, love to parents,
love to nature, love to quilting and so on and so on.
The idea came out
really quickly. I wanted to dedicate this quilt to our love – my husband and
me. I wanted to do a lot of handwork so “boro” style has been chosen.
Colours and forms of
scraps symbolize our characters.
Very often while
sitting together quietly I ask my husband: ”May I ask you?”
He: I know what you will ask.
I: I know what you will answer.
He: Yes, I love you!
I: I love you too.
Is this love?
Llyuda, this is rich in texture, detail and colour, beautiful. it captures the quiet depth of feeling perfectly
ReplyDeleteThis is a charming little statement of LOVE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully personal representation of your love! I think it's great that you did your stitching by hand, literally putting yourself into this quilt.
ReplyDeleteYes it is love! Very well done. I like the difference in the two sides of the quilt which show your personality and your husbands.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely example of true love. Your layers of fabric and stitch show that emotion woven into the fabric of your life.
ReplyDeleteA riot of stitch and colour. A wonderful piece and beautiful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI always find your quilts so interesting! This is intriguing, cute and thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI like your hand stitching very much as it adds great texture to the piece. You call the style of the hand embroidery for "boro style" I thought it was Kanta embroidery, perhaps it has different name in different parts of the world. All the same, a lovely colorful piece with lots of emotions in it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece, Lyuda. I love your concept and admire how you have translated this into fabric and stitch.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt shows very well two different halves/people, who are connected in love. I like the use of the many fabric scraps and the overall handstitching.
