Judy S.- Circles of Joy

Circles of Joy came about from thinking of family, friends, experiences, and life. Lot’s of circles, but how to depict it was the question. I created 2 full circles and sewed them onto 2 different squares. Then I cut them into halves, but that wasn’t enough, so I quartered them and sewed them back together. 
This quilt represents how we are one and as we add more pieces or give of ourselves we become more colorful. The quilting adds even more depth and those are the subtle things or people that we may not notice have made an impression on us, yet they are valuable.

  9. So very nice Judy. And as always, your machine stitching sets it off perfectly. I love that you used so many different stitches. We do, indeed, add more circles as we go through our life journey. Beautiful!
