I created this collage using family photos, pieces of her art, symbols that I knew would resonate for her. Embellishments included beads from South Africa, and other beads to brighten and add sparkle.
Photos and art pieces were printed on cloth and sewn into the whole collage. There are a few pieces that I stuffed for a three dimentional look and feel. The design in the border is top sewn to make it stand out more, and the whole inside is also sewn using free motion stitching. Some of the outside border design is cut out also giving it another dimentional feel to it.Needless to say her response to receiving this quilt, her purchase, was again one of high emotion. The praise and thanks I received were a gift for me.

Dear Soul Brush: So sweet of you to come back to look at your art quilt on my blog. I love hearing about how your family and friends love it hanging in your home. I so enjoyed making it for you. And you will always have the honor of being my very first commissioned quilt in my first year of quilting art quilts. Thank you so much for ordering it.
