wooly heart







This is a wip and I would have posted the pictures yesterday but "Blogger" decided not
to let me : /
I have used the beautiful red hand dyed wool and other hand dyed fabrics from Gerdiary.

The indigo colored background cloth is not hand dyed.
I do not even know what I will call this cloth, but I will see.... The inspiration for it came after I hung all of my quilt pieces on the wall. When I stood back I realized a common theme I use is the "heart".
I decided I wanted to do a study of different hearts in cloth. "Different",  meaning just different ways of stitching and expressing "matters of the heart".







details....




The "woolly" or "wooly"  heart! ( wool-ee can be spelled both ways, I learned something new)

    Marie, the pop of yellow on this is just right with the red wool and the shades of blue.
    I like the different matters of the heart theme. The gallery wall idea is really working for you! Mine are still all rolled up. Soon . . . .

    Hi Woman with Wings,
    Unrolling all those quilt pieces of mine made me realize some things about how I create and what I am drawn to. It has been a "good thing", as Martha Stewart would say. lol!
    I look forward to seeing yours :)

    Dear Isabelle,
    Can you please email me your address again. I have packed up a few things and I think I packed your address away. I have something I want to send you. "Matters of the heart" is such a big topic :)
