How Sweet It Is...

The challenge this year at the Beaconsfield Quilt Show was to interpret a song of verse from a poem. My selection was the song, "How Sweet It Is" (to be loved by you) which I dedicated to my husband. After returning from the Machine Quilters Exposition this year I was very inspired by the intricate quilting of Sharon Schamber and her use of contrasting thread to create a look of solid fabric. My attempt is subtle but perhaps I will have more courage for future pieces. How sweet it is to do a project for myself!
