I like how the green line is clearly visible, but it doesn't take over the picture -- it's an integral part of the imagery but it isn't ABOUT the green line. <BR/><BR/>I'm also intrigued at how well this seems to flow from the cut-paper trees you were posting some time ago. The tree branches have a cut-paper sort of look -- much more organic than those wonderful paper trees, but it makes me think that pulling those out planted some visions in your subconscious that came out here. <BR/><BR/>Glad the hearing is improving!Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-88837917627316961712009-03-17T16:51:00.000-07:002009-03-17T16:51:00.000-07:00Terry, this is beautiful.

I love the bit of rust in the hills and the leaf motif in the quilting - well, makes me green with envy! <BR/>I hope your hearing improves. I know how it feels and found it so frustrating. It is astounding how ear problems affect so many other systems. I always felt like my IQ went down a few points due to the constant having to ask people to repeat themselves.<BR/>Take care and heal.

Your quilting is an important integral part of the work and a joy to look at in detail; I'd love to see this quilt "for real" <BR/><BR/>To me your colors have the serenity that nature has on a calm day. Yes, sometimes excitement is good but Mother Nature balances the flowering trees and the autumnal leaves with periods of quiet also. We can learn lessons of balance from trees.

It would be a good design with out all of the gorgeous stitching you added. However, that stitching elevates it over the top. <BR/>Bravo!<BR/>Do you have plans to show this quilt someplace.

I look forward to seeing where you take this.<BR/><BR/>My fingers are crossed that your ears keep improving. My hubby lost most of his hearing in one ear after an infection (of course, living 6 months on a flightline with many, many sorties a day didn't help matters at all), but he's got a great hearing aid that brings him back in the fold. Of course, when he wants to ignore us he just takes it out. ;-)Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.com
