Merrill, your quilt is amazing, and I can't begin to imagine how tedious and time consuming this labor of love, took to complete. Thank you Wanda for sharing with us. Enjoy your day.
This is truly a story quilt. The women in this quilt look like they could turn towards the viewer and tell a story of their lives and community. The materials, embellishments and design all indicate that this quilt has much to say about the inner lives of those portrayed.
MERRIL, MERRIL, MERRIL ! I hope you are reading this today, you certainly live up to your groups name "ART QUILTER". You have designed a quilt with such joy and creative talent. it is a true beauty, I'm sure you are proud of it. I too love your design.
I was quite shocked to see this quilt on Pinterest. I see it was first posted on the quilt makers blog in 2018. The reason was that I made a very similar quilt over ten years ago, totally original and here it is turning up made by another quilter with changes but basically the same. I guess I should choose to be flattered rather than upset.What is the saying? copying is the sincerest form of flattery?
A stunning quilt! I enlarged each photo and enjoyed the details and the fabrics. What size is it?
ReplyDeleteAnother wow...what a creative group. The details look amazing...a lot of work, but it must have been fun to make.
ReplyDeleteWow, Merrill! That is wonderful! You are so original and creative! You and Jerry are such a great pair!
