I did Lady Sew and Sew based on Medieaval Tapestries somewhat like the Bayeaux Tapestry. this reminds me a bit of the ideas I had with that.<br /><br />I also think your St Rose looks like an updated St Rose of Lima. Or at least her daughter! The facial features are so similar.<br /><br />I laughed at your comment about the pained expression of wearing the pink clothes (how I would feel!) but I also think it looks like she is holding up the pinking shears with a face that looks as if she just discovered someone had "borrowed" them to cut paper! <br /><br />Again, this is very wonderful. A great way to "redeem" pink so to speak!<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-11741463385193947362009-12-13T15:22:42.968-08:002009-12-13T15:22:42.968-08:00Dear Terry,

The little carnation flowers called pinks got their name from the zigzag edges of their petals; I think the color name came from that. Carnation flowers were originally sort of a peachy-pink color like skin--Incarnation meaning "to become flesh". A strange but interesting trip.<br />Thanks for sharing,<br />Linda Laird<br />quiltlady@san.rr.com<br />PS: St Rose of Lima is often shown in pictures or statues playing the guitar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-71826709581446118702009-12-13T12:30:42.687-08:002009-12-13T12:30:42.687-08:00My friend Shari was sitting next to me when I open...My friend Shari was sitting next to me when I opened this and she just about fell off her chair, and I agree, this is so fabulous.

I love the big candles in the jars they sell in the Mexican food section of my grocery store, too... the ones with the saints and religious photos on them. <br /><br />Your Saint Rose is marvelous!Susan Brubaker Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490050360258082767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-31143658228826891052009-12-13T07:13:35.342-08:002009-12-13T07:13:35.342-08:00This is beautiful.

I'm so happy that you took the challenge beyond the color into a word challenge as well, and I am always appreciative when the medium supports the message. What better subject for a quilted piece than a Saint of Scissors!? What a pleasant surprise too that the real St. Rose also has a connection to textile arts.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-68808249215856423542009-12-12T09:55:05.844-08:002009-12-12T09:55:05.844-08:00Oh!

I love the piece on its own -- your wonderful style and detail and color and fabric choices ... all truly delightful. And I've always had a love of pinking shears (I played with my grandma's in her sewing room as a kid and have loved them ever since) so this strikes a happy chord for me.<br /><br />But the various ways this intersects with your life are really fascinating. Saint Rose sounds like someone you need (or maybe have had?) in your life! I'm so I'm glad you brought her to life!Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-87344822816196029062009-12-12T09:52:59.968-08:002009-12-12T09:52:59.968-08:00So very Terry.
