I had the day off today and I spent many hours in the basement creating a Lady quilt for a woman who has been instrumental with WIND.
As the quilt began to take shape….the tree bending in the Wind, the Jacket that seemed to be moving…the hair. Oh, I began to love this quilt. I seriously contemplated keeping it for me. I mean really keeping it. I loved the overall look and feelings it evoked.
The background of this quilt was the backdrop of the snowman quilt, but I couldn't seem to get this one to work for the woman I had in mind. So, I took off the snowman and added a tree…and then I changed the Lady…..and here it is.

I just loved the feel of this totally…the different Christmas colors. The orange ornaments have glitter on them…just all of it. I took pretty many pictures for I knew it was going away and I could picture this on a Christmas card some day.
The more pictures I took, the more I fell in love with it…and the harder it was to let her go.
When I got home, I quickly wrapped it up without a further thought, knowing it was going to someone who loves my Art and who would appreciate the gesture….and I was right.
She LOVED it.
I know it went to a happy woman and it will bring moments of joy in the days to come. Already in short one day…we both fell in love with her. It is like she is a new friend…a woman who you want to get to know better.
I am glad I took many pictures….she was pure joy!
Merry Christmas An-Gel…May she be a reminder to follow your joy!
