This is one of my very favorite mini quilts that I've made.
It's called "In My Heart" and features six needle felted hearts decorated with book page words. I'm a big fan of the heart as a symbol. A lot of my work has hearts in it. And almost everything I make is memory or personal journey based. This quilt is about all the different things I was feeling in my heart on the day that I made it. In that sense, it's kind of a scrapbook page. A moment in time captured. Take a closer look:
The background of the quilt is canvas, which I patterned and painted.
After I painted this canvas up I sort of didn't want to use it because I just loved the way it looked! But then I reminded myself that using it in a finished piece of art is much better than just having it tucked away in my stash! I am so very guilty of hoarding things I love instead of using them. So, so silly. I often have to remind myself that I will feel more inspired and create lovelier things if I use my very favorite things for creating!
Thanks for stopping by!
It’s beautiful!!! And I know what you mean when you didn’t feel like continuing because you liked the way it looked! Happens to me lots of times. I always take a photo at that stage, just in case I do end up “ruining” it!! 🙂
