Riversong - October



For this challenge, you're seeing a quilt I did a while ago.  Circumstances made it impossible for me to finish the one originally slated for yesterday, so you're getting an oldie.  It's one of the two that started this whole quilting journey for me.  (And it gave me a chance to use a few of the thousands of beads I tend to hoard!)



This is a mountain stream near my cabin where I love to go.  I can spend the day with my feet in the rushing water and forget all the things that are wrong in the world.

  7. This is a work of art. I love the handstitching and embellishment and the flowing lines. I doubt your river is as lovely as this quilt.

  9. I absolutely LOVE your river quilt Meg. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if sewing on all those beads is good therapy for your hands or damaging. Let's hope good therapy...then we can see more! :)

  11. This is very vibrant and certainly evocative. Are they buttons - the musical notes?

  12. Thanks, all, for your wonderful words!

    Susan - this was done before I was having so much trouble with my hands.

    Clare - The 'rocks' with the musical notes are stuffed fabric.
