May for Me Connectivity with Quilters!

This is a "revisit" of a post from last year, but it fit perfectly for this week.  I wanted to share a quilting piece that best represents my quilting passion. It was from a Project Quilting Challenge - Season Two.  You had to choose three hardware items and incorporate it into your quilt.


What does a piece of wire, a wire stripper, and electrical tape have in common with a quilt? 

A single stand of wire stands alone as one single piece, a wire stripper opens up the ends to prepare it to connect, and the electrical tape holds all the wires together.


A quilter sews alone til she finds a community of quilters who are brought together through their love of quilting.

Connectivity is the name of my quilt!

Getting you up close with the stitches. I love thread painting on raw edge applique' and really enjoyed quilting all the tiny little circles.

 Gabby connects with my quilts too. I really think it is that she just wants to have her picture taken.  She jumps right up on the sofa, when I am taking pictures!  My husband thinks I make her do it - NOPE!

 Signed my quilt with my name and the year!

If you want to see more of my thread painting - this is a post that I shared several quilted pieces - Getting up Close with My Thread Painting. There are also links along the sidebar with other thread painted quilts - like the First Bloom and Imaginary Blooms and my Imaginary Barn Quilt. 


I love thread painting on raw edge applique'.  Makes me feel like I am a kid again - coloring! I think that is why I feel the need to play each day. It keeps me happy - doing what I love to do!


What inspires your quilting?


Take time to play, now in May and everyday!
