We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives. Gary Zukav
Spring has arrived. Hints of summer are evident in the heat the last few days. The garden is being planted. The weeds are coming up! The colors are changing! The latest quilt reminds me of the greens of spring and the turquoises of the melting streams.
The central panel is a hand dyed fabric in the shibori style. The central appliqué design is from a Celtic circular bronze shield boss dredged from the river Thames near Wardsworth, London, England and estimated to be from approximately 300-200 BC.
The quilt is approximately 54 x70 “. It is hand appliqued and hand quilted. Completed 2017.

Lovely
Oh my! This is simply GORGEOUS! I love the poetic thoughts on the seasons as well. The quilt definitely matches the thoughts. Did you hand dye the center yourself? It looks like a beautiful stained glass window!
Yes, we have a couple of women in our guild that do a dye class each summer. They are outstanding!
