Thank you for using each quilt as a way to open out eyes to a different social/political issue.

Your ability to hone in on a topic that is laden with interest and emotion is truly remarkable (maybe a novel is next?!) AND then you find a vivid way to present your story in fabric. These are not common talents, and every time you wow me. <br /><br />We are so lucky to have you in our group, because you always manage to connect our challenge to the world in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-4841285395466243992009-08-01T18:36:07.449-07:002009-08-01T18:36:07.449-07:00I can't wait to see your Twin Towers work.

Yes, you are a writer. One of the best parts of your pieces, is the story you tell. I did not know about the git and find that story so fascinating. I agree with Terry, I think this is, visually, your best piece.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-86911944065690291812009-08-01T12:04:00.539-07:002009-08-01T12:04:00.539-07:00Passion for one's religion and point of view i...Passion for one's religion and point of view is big and powerful.

I must say I think, in addition, it is your most visually stunning to date. The strong near symmetrical composition and the strength of the color and line create a tension that is passionate, indeed. Bravo! My favorite of all your pieces.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.com
