how touching! i'm deeply moved by your piece helen. 1) i know the place, i have been at the cafe argana myself and 2) three of the killed people are from the area i live in (italian part of switzerland). two young couples, friends, were on holiday in marrakesh and just one girl survived.
Gorgeous colors!! Wonderful stitching. Very touching story. And yes, I had a problem photographing mine!!
Just lovely. I just love the restraint in this, Helen. And the composition is very strong. Your quilting lines really add a lot -- and of course those 3 died bits (with the circly quilting) have a sense of faint blood spots that creates (in my mind) a sense of dis-ease... which is quite appropriate for your reference to the Marrakesh bombing. I've said this the last few times, but now I think THIS is my favorite of yours so far.
Um, I meant DYED bits. Freudian, eh?
Gosh... you're channeling Françoise a bit I think. We're all inspiring each other!
I love those 17 turmeric stripes. It's all really excellent -- especially the combination of hand and machine stitching and the beautiful palette. I can totally see why YOU picked it.
It's a lovely composition, and the memorial aspect is a wonderful second read. I like your balance of smooth and texture, and I can imagine that the monoprinted fabric looks fantastic in real life! Beautiful.
Wonderful memorial, color and stitch!!!
Another beautiful, meaningful piece Helen. I love to read your stories behind these quilts.
Beautiful, bright quilt and a meaning that once again breaks my heart.
This is such a lovely piece--both as a memorial and just as a visual experience. Your colors are mouth-watering and life-giving, while the message is heart-breaking.
You've really nailed value and balance in this composition. And the combination of hand and machine stitching adds wonderful texture. I look forward to seeing this in November.
Gosh, Helen, many of your quilts have moved me, but this is powerful. And very beautiful.
What a lovely tribute! This is a great abstract design Helen and I love the simple straight line quilting in the background areas.
Lovely quilt Helen. Of course I am very moved by its meaning.
(And, I also had trouble photographing my quilt.)
