Description
My monthly quiltlet for the personal journal quilt series at [link] . The heart in the top corner was the compulsory doodad. I still hate hearts.
12" x 12"
Theme: Things that are close to my heart
These things are close to my heart:
The full moon that draws the tides
Papatuanuku who nurtures us all
The triple Koru of my family, the unfurling fronds protected by their father's strong back
The Tararuas and Ruahines that define where my seperate worlds start and finish, and the Manawatu gorge that allows me to pass between them
These things are close to my heart:
The opportunity to choose to spend time pursuing leisure that so many women worldwide are denied
The senses that allow me to experience the world and my art and my inspiration
The economic luxury of being able to purchase the tools of my hobby
The legacy of a thousand thousand women who have sewn one piece of fabric to another to keep their babies warm
The women I share this project with, from whom I draw inspiration and strength and wisdom
My mum
Arohanui.
Koru - stylised fern fronds
Papatuanuku - Maori goddess, the earth mother
Ruahines and Tararuas - ranges close to my home
Arohanui - big love, love big enough to encompass the whole word.

I don't often see a fellow person of Aotearoa on here, so cheers!
I wish I had time to learn to quilt... I'm sure I'd enjoy it. And this is just awesome, I want to do landscapes now. Maybe a profile of Rangitoto in a bluish grey with some kind of cool red-and-green patterned fabric in front for Pohutukawas round a light blue bay. *wistful sigh* Maybe I can paint it instead...
