I M Perfect lady


Lady in the Wind

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!

    Lucky is the woman who loves her art—lucky is the recipient of such art! This is a fantastic quilt, Beth—it has your “signature movement” in it.

    Thanks Ann. I wondered about me being so excited and loving of this, when I made it, like where is my humble ya da ya da….but, I can’t pretend or dial down. I simply love how she feels…how I feel when I look at her. I loved all the motion and emotion.
    I love how you say my ‘signature movement’. I was doing this extremely moving, for it was for WIND. I have the tree bending the jacket blowing along with the hair. It was fun and I will make another one for me….similar in honor of WIND!
    I am indeed grateful that I love my art!
