I became a grandmother just a few weeks ago, and I am absolutely delighted about this new identity!I chose a picture of me holding the brand-new baby, and I did a simple line drawing from it. I then screenprinted the drawing on fabric.
Of course, there had to be a heart somewhere on my quilt. Then, a list of things I would like to share some day with this little being (there was not enough space on the piece of fabric for the whole list...).
I thought adding a few beads here and there was very appropriate for a little girl.
I chose almost the same colour scheme for this quilt as for my previous 12x12 quilt... Did you say "Identity"?

Francoise,
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely way of paring an image down to beautiful simple lines and imagery. It is not an easy thing to do so attractively! I like this a lot -- the colors and images are very strong and really does convey an immediate sense of love and peace and contentment.
Congratulations on your new grandbaby!
So lovely--that universal image of mother/grandmother and baby. And yes, your quilts have a very strong and distinctive identity.
ReplyDeleteYour new identity as a grandmother was a perfect direction for your identity quilt. These colors definitely identify you as well. Well done Francoise! Congratulations on becoming a grandmother.
ReplyDeleteI saw your sneak peek of the colors and thought --"Oh, that's Françoise and her color scheme," but you are absolutely right that they are appropriate for your identity! I recognized this right away as you in your new grandma role and love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so appropriate for this time in your life Francoise, and the simplicty really makes a beautiful statement.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that you are so smitten with being a Grandmother that it is your new identity. I can relate to that. This is lovely and the colors and design are Francoise!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts always have a lovely balance, Francoise. This is beautiful, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, very obviously yours!
