I have always been a little ahead and to the left and so it makes perfect sense that I would decide to make and execute a ten-year-plan to get me to my 80th birthday. There are many parts to the plan- to be revealed as we go- the one for today is the final phase of developing art quilts. What does that even mean???? I’m not entirely sure, but stick with my process because, for sure, it’s going to be fun!
Reviewing this Tree of Life Quilt that was part of Quilt National 2011, inspired the action of trying it again, ten years later- adding all of my wonderous knowledge and experience over this time period.
To begin-the palette: last time I went to the Salvation Army and picked the colors I could find that had 4 values- This time, I am using my Omer Calendar to make sure I will focus on each divine attribute- so I wanted 7 colors plus black to white and this time up my game to 5 values of each ( 5 values is what I have always used in the French knot embroideries- making the color much more nuanced).
And so long ago captured inspiration to help me get started on the form:
