This is my new 12x12 quilt...
The theme, picked by Brenda, was "Illumination". I chose to work on the buddhist meaning of this word. The background fabric was shibori-dyed.
I then drew a very simple shape of someone sitting and meditating, and made a stencil out of freezer paper. I used oil sticks to print this shape on my fabric.
I added hand embroidered stars to evoke light.
Don't forget to check the Twelve by Twelve blog to see the quilts made by the other members of the group.

Beautiful quilt, Françoise, very intricate and well balanced, the whole piece gives a lovely sense of peace and harmony.
Very nicely done. I love your meditating motifs.
A very serene quilt. Love the colors and the border brings everything back to the central theme...harmony. Great job!
You did such a wonderful job translating the illumination theme into this blue serene quilt.
Beautiful quilt Francoise.
