I have never liked that phrase -- to me it had the connotation of "let them eat cake," as in, "we all know beggars can't ride and that's just as well." But in your piece I feel that everyone is mounted beautifully, and they have so many things to wish on, that more wishes will undoubtedly come true. And I love the benevolent genie.Textile Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547494144471550828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-49182481980112232432020-02-02T15:09:54.810+00:002020-02-02T15:09:54.810+00:00OKAY!! you have certainly stitched a bit of whims...OKAY!! you have certainly stitched a bit of whimsy that really makes me smile.

LOL! I like how the symbols drew my eye around the entire piece, starting with the wishing well on the hill and ending with the genie (which took me a few seconds to get). I admire your ability to depict realistic figures and things in fabric and tell a story with them. And your style of doing them is truly your own. When I first saw the figures with the star, I thought, "Oh, these beggars are really the Three Wise Men of the Christmas story." I guess the realization of wishes can be a two edged sword -some making us wiser, and others, not so much. See? All these thoughts inspired by your little quilt!Maureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-29229977474333913462020-02-01T14:34:34.164+00:002020-02-01T14:34:34.164+00:00Funny, that same phrase kept coming to me too, but...Funny, that same phrase kept coming to me too, but I laid it aside and went a different direction.
