It was my intention to complete a book that had the evolution of my Lady, which is the star of my quilts. And I did. It was very interesting to not only look at each individual quilt, but to tell what it meant to me and my journey. I once again realize how fortunate I am to have this visual trail leading backwards...and forward; to see the process colorfully displayed in fabric and design.
At times, when looking at them, it is hard to recollect the me that created them, and at other times, I feel it is the same artist. And perhaps it is the same talent, but a new inspiration behind the hands.
This book, I did by myself, and had two of my daughters do a glance over to see if the pictures and words were properly placed. Each did a few tweaks, but all in all, I did it.
Now, it seems...the journey isn't over, but it continues on. I wonder what my art will show as I venture forward. I wonder what turns my life will take, what hills I have yet to climb, and what surprises still lay ahead.
I feel now that I am still drawn to create Art Quilts, but the need of therapy has been reduce. There is more air, space and relaxation in and around my quilts.
Guess I could say this book is my journey so far...
