Quick post... I wanted to show my Aunt's Angry Rooster wallhanging. I just finished quilting it to give to her tomorrow at Thanksgiving supper, to which she brings her fabulous sweet potato puree.
My Aunt Jackie is in her 70s and still loves to do handwork like applique. However she never signs her work ! Many times I have reminded her to sign everything, but she never does and tends to diminish her talent as many of us do. We are all Artists, Quilt Artists, Fibre Artists, Sewists... whatever you want to call yourself... but all Artists (with a capital A). I added my Aunt's initials JBDS and the year to the quilting as you can see in one of the close up pictures.
The binding is ready for hand finishing... which I know my Aunt enjoys doing, otherwise I would have machine finished him for her.
Meet Rad Rooster... in all his angry glory. Not a turkey but a rooster with attitude.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving... I am grateful that I have eyes and hands that allow me to do the work I love.
Blessings to you all,
Tania
