I have finished my Koi Pond Quilt! I think I have worked harder on this quilt than anything than any artwork I have ever made! There are probably 200 hours or so of work--literally blood (poking myself from pins) sweat and tears in this quilt! It is for my daughter Hannah. I am proud of how it turned out...its not perfect but its mine.. I made it ...and I love it! There are thousands and thousands of stitches in this piece. I told Hannah if /when I die...all you have to do is rub your hands across the quilt and she should feel my love come through in the stitches. I said a prayer of this quilt so she would always feel my presence and love through this quilt. Its color and movement and energy reflects how I feel about life.
I have not clipped the loose end threads yet....my last thing to do...take care of loose ends---HOW FITTING!
