I became a grandmother just a few weeks ago, and I am absolutely delighted about this new identity!I chose a picture of me holding the brand-new baby, and I did a simple line drawing from it. I then screenprinted the drawing on fabric.
Of course, there had to be a heart somewhere on my quilt. Then, a list of things I would like to share some day with this little being (there was not enough space on the piece of fabric for the whole list...).
I thought adding a few beads here and there was very appropriate for a little girl.
I chose almost the same colour scheme for this quilt as for my previous 12x12 quilt... Did you say "Identity"?This is the picture I used as the source for my line drawing...
And don't forget to have a look at the Twelve by Twelve blog to see the other "Identity" quilts!
