Wishes are given heartily or sometimes frivolously. You might read on Social Media that someone is ill or that their friend is ill so you quickly type a well wish. Do you really mean it or is "just what people do".
Wishes swirl around in the Universe. Sometimes someone catches a wish. A thought pops into their head and by doing something for someone else the are also fulfilling one of their own wishes.
If you are interested, I have a post on my blog with more personal thoughts on Wishes and creating this piece.
So many aspects to this theme I am heading off to your blog to read the background to your piece Carol!
ReplyDeleteLove the hexagon format. Really suits the portrait.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely quilt, Carol. and I'm very interested to read more of your thoughts on wishing. I will be over soon to visit your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely image and when I looked closer your french knots are wonderful and the shiny dandelion clock is beautiful. I've been over and read your blog post and will keep my fingers crossed for you and wish you more settled times and lots of happiness.
ReplyDeleteNice. So many French knots, I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I bow to your French Knot making skills. Like you, I find slow stitching a zen-like process. That's why I always hand sew the binding of a quilt. It's my favorite part. (Aside: have you seen the book from Alabama Chanin called The Geometry of Hand-Sewing?) You have made me re-think how I participate in this group. Perhaps my next quilt here will be hand sewn. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Carol. I love you quote that wishes swirl around the universe. So deep and philosophical.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful colors of your dandelion seeds!
ReplyDeleteI went to your blog and read about the creation of this piece there, and then I read a whole lot of other posts,and clicked on some links, and found another good blog to follow-- so I feel like I caught some good wishes swirling around! Thank you for a lovely lunch hour full of creative thoughts. :)
