When I have the time and my camera around, I love making pictures of the quilt making process. It is a magic, just like every other creative activity. Piece by piece and step by step the quilt appears.
It is difficult for me to say what makes it more special – watching the creative process or the fact the maker /that’s me/ takes part in it… Maybe the camera helps me take the most of both these miracles – by making pictures I am fully in the making, but I take short breaks to see the creation through someone elses eyes. Or something’s eye, while making pictures LOL. I then go back to the making and have a fresh new look at it. It is really refreshing and helps me not to stick to any idea or plan. Very liberating experience – shoots and then new mini start.
Sometimes the light is so brilliant or so subtle, that it changes the way the room and project look like. Like in this picture – the light coming through the patchwork top. It was a dark day before this magnificent warm light appeared at once. Just on time actually!
This is the shawl that made me knit last year. Well, it was not only because I loved the way it looked, but also the drape and colour, and softness… made me want to knit one.
