Down to Earth

Before the end of 2017, I was asked if I liked to be a part of World Wide Whisper quilt project. Without much thinking I said yes.

What it was was, the first person make a quilt inspired by a picture and then following person make a quilt inspired by a picture of the previous quilt. Like Chinese whisper game. It is called World Wide because there are five countries making them. Canada, US, Scotland, Holland and Ireland and each country make a each series.

I was assigned to work on June. I got a photo of Margaret McCroy at the end of May. Margaret’s quilt was a picture of hot air balloons floating up. It was very pretty!

The thing I wasn’t quite sure was if I was guess the original one or just work from what I was given. After reading the instruction few times, I just decided to make one inspired by Margaret’s one.

And the next question was how much I should go wild. The following person was Olena and I was sure she can handle my wildness but I thought I might better not derail the theme going through. Well I actually had no idea what the theme was but guessed rainbow colour because the biggest air balloon was rainbow colour.

So what? Things went up the sky has to come down, don’t they. Parachute would be a fun way to come down, don’t you think( I haven’t done either of them in my life).

So here is my piece, Down to earth.
