Inspiration: And Sew It Goes

Terry of And Sew It Goes created this lovely fiber art for an exhibition called Rituals. She named her entry Friendship Ritual, and she says,

This commemorates my yearly ritual of designing, making and sending Valentines. I described the stitched pattern connecting all these hearts as a network of connection that becomes more important to me as the years go by. It is really about friendship and what it means in a life.

The combination of applique, embroidery, and quilting was enough to steal my heart. Knowing the story behind the design is fabulous frosting. See more at Terry’s blog post.
