Well, I am moved in to our new (111 year old house) and am finally able to post my quilt challenge here at a local coffee shop. Hope you don't kick me out for being late!!
The inspiration was a photo I had to take for a photography class. It is an introspective self portrait shot which fits in with my current state of life. New state, new house, new business, new life! My silver cross is important to me as my faith has led me to this place (including this Blog group). Cheers! Karen

Well worth the wait Karen....I love it. Happy for you, new digs, new business, new life. Life is good and so is your self-portrait.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never. A very thoughtful piece. Welcome to your new life.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely Karen! I love the old doily; and the stitching pattern around the focal points! Nicely done. Wishing you well in all your new adventures and places. Glad you were able to get on line at the coffee shop and are here in the line up of wonderful art quilts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I was wondering where your hint would lead. It is a lovely introspective piece. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt Karen. Wishing you all the best as you change your life!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! Good luck to you in your new endeavors...will be eager to here of how everything transpires!!
ReplyDeleteLovely piece, very calming. Really like the blue on blue and your great quilting stitches in red, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteA nicely balanced piece Karen. I love the two blues with red stitching and the contrast in colour of the doily and photograph. Enjoy your new life, lots of changes all at once.
ReplyDeleteYou've placed your elements perfectly and I love the pop of the red thread. Beautiful job...and I don't mind that you're late. :)
ReplyDeleteThe red thread is such an unexpected element, and it gives nice movement to the piece, the balance the introspection. Really like this!
