I have always loved this quote and I love the character in Mother Teresa's wonderful face. The face was printed from my computer onto a used tea bag. I put it on some hand-dyed fabric using gel medium. I then machine quilted, added some stamping, handstitching, and finished with some silk sari ribbon for the binding.
A lovely quilt in which you've used so many products and techniques! The quotation is wonderful! I've long admired Mother Teresa, but I've never read those specific words of hers. How true they are!
ReplyDeleteCandy - this is terrific! Mother Teresa is a favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteHi Candace, what a fabulous quote you chose! I love all the little techniques you used. Mother Teresa lived life the right way and this quote is a perfect example of her life! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is so worth remembering - and a wonderful tribute piece. The techniques you used really added a lot to the overall effect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quote ! And I love that you used so many different techniques, and explained them to us... Great Job :-D
ReplyDeleteWonderful tribute to an amazing woman!! You packed a lot into this small piece!!
ReplyDeleteI hesitate to ever say that 'this is my favorite quilt' because each one has something special that speaks to me - - - however, that said, I am pretty sure this is my favorite quilt. (sigh - there, I said it.). I am so touched by folk art, and your quilt comes close to that. I love the small row of colored patches, the machine sewn script, the way you added the face and of course the quote itself speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! Please remember to bring it with you to retreat along with your other Maven quilts. I want to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quote. A great tribute.
