This was one of my final projects for the course.
It's the Celtic Tree of Life, with the green fields of Ireland on one side (my heritage) and the golden fields of the Saskatchewan prairies on the other (my birthplace). The sky is filled with moons and stars, all fractured and flying, and I filled the branches with symbolic images.
I handstitched every blanket stitch on every edge of the piece, and I loved every minute of it.
The work of creation seemed effortless and the concepts came easily. I wish I could spend days on end in that kind of creative flow.
Now you know why I'm so drawn to the free piecing I see on blogs like Joyce's and Tonya's. I really need to make the time to do this kind of creating in my life.
As soon as I finish renovating my house!! Yeah, like finishing is ever going to happen!
Hope you all had a good crafting weekend, fellow travellers. M

Love this piece. I'll have to post a picture of a tree that my friend made for me. Congrats on floor finishing- ours is an 1890 house. And the tile in one room was held down with pitch, also- had to use a heat gun to get it up! Not the best combination, tar and fire... Alls well, though.
That is just lovley! So you! I'm totaly take back bust just how beautiful that piece is!
