For the last few weeks, I have been reading about the history of quilts.
I am at a point where I do not know what I want to do next when it comes to quilting.
So, I am dabbling and trying different things.
A little bit of improvisation, a bit of artistic, folk art, a bit of embroidery and hand-stitching…and on and on.
All of the quilts I have made have been specific to family members; things they like, and bits of their story.
I had free cut some strips and decided to make it a block to tell about one of my grandchildren.
He was born on a stormy Sunday in October.
I thought of the poem: Sunday’s Child is Happy and Wise.
My embroidery is just basic.
I have been studying Sue Spargo, but I am still a novice at this.
I also added a heart made from a piece of my dad’s plaid shirts.
I was thinking of embroidering my grandson’s initials on the heart and writing the date of his birth on the left bottom corner.
Like I said, I do not know where I am going with this.
I am just trying out different things.
AH! I like the heart in the center. You are being very improv where you are just flowing where the piece takes you – design as you go!
Awe how cool! I love your newest block. You don’t look like a novice. It looks like somebody with talent made it.
Oh, thank you for your support. I just feel like I’m wandering around aimlessly.
Well you may feel that way but your art doesn’t show it. Relax. 🙃
You made my day.
You have to try things to do things, right? 🙂 I’ll look forward to seeing more of this.
It sure is fun trying new things.
Right now, I have to set it aside to finish some projects. I will get back to this soon.
Good for you! You really do not have to know what everything is “for”. My husband often asks, “Who is this one for?” and I say, “It’s for trying something new” 😉
I love that response! I get asked the same question. May I borrow your response?
Absolutely!
