In life you have many circles. You move in certain circles in society. You have a circle of friends - some closer than other. My closest circle is the circle within - my siblings. We have a very special bond.
My great grandmother, grandmother and mother were all very good at needlework and my love for textiles certainly comes from them.
I used silk bought in Thailand together with a very dark purple velveteen. The brown fabric I rust dyed. There are also small pieces of silk leftovers from a dress of my grandmother. The lace is needle lace made by my great grandmother. The design was accentuated with couching using silk waste cords.
I machine quilted the quilt and added some hand quilting and embroidery on the background.
