Looking Back - "Heart Strings 2" 02-01-11


"Heart Strings II"  Del Thomas  2005  12"W x 18" L
Commercial and hand-dyed cottons.  Cotton & cotton-poly threads.  Wonder Under, Cotton Batt
I desperately need to get back to quilt making.  It has been over a year since I have done anything more than two feet by two feet - and mostly less.  So, I thought I would revisit quilts that I have made in the past, quilts that I am happy to have made.  This one evolved from a group challenge.  It isn't the one that I made FOR the challenge, but it was inspired by that one.  I wrote an Emily Dickinson quote on the heart:
"All I know of Love... Is Love is all there is."
I still have this one, but with the TCQC to hang on my walls, I rarely hang any of my own quilts!

    What a good way to recharge. And I really like the back, too.
