Our Humanity Binds Us

 

 Our Humanity Binds us

17" wide x 23" high.

                                              Detail:  All the Fabric in this work began as white cotton.  It has been dyed, printed, layered, pieced and stitched. The pair of heads is a print of one of my drawings.  Then they were painted and hand stitched.

Detail:  In the background you can see examples of dyed as well as prints made of my own drawings on thermofax screens.  The foreground is an element of the lettering appliqued with free motion stitching.

Detail: Dyed and over printed.

Again, I return to my theme, we are all connected and need to count on each other for support and guidance.  We are inevitably bound together through life's journey.

Bouncing Baby Boy

Baby Boy 'I Spy' Quilt

My version of an "I Spy" baby quilt for a beautiful baby boy.

42" x 36"

Detail:  Since both parents are well educated academics, I decided to place aspirational hopes and wishes throughout the quilt.  As he grows, they can find the words together, and hopefully feel the love in the messages.

Back of quilt:  There were a few extra blocks  and so they landed on the back.

                  Detail:  I free motion embroidered his name all around the perimeter of his quilt.  Hopefully this will help with language acquisition skills!😁

But for now; tummy time play is where its at.

Lots of room to grow.

Detail:  The back has a label with a date

                   Wishing for many many more fun play times for this sweet baby on his quilt!
