Beautiful work, and a perfect title. Nice to see so much hand stitching in a piece like this. I'd like to see a 'from sketch to stitch' type art quilt book - showing the initial design process and how that is translated to fabric (without gadgets and gizmos like tyvek etc - just fabric), with the emphasis on hand stitching. Not too much to ask for... ;-)
The background stitching makes the irregular shapes pop...even in the darker colors. Lots of depth and movement here. I agree with Kaye... ideas to final piece with your thinking process between.
I love anything on process. This is a beautiful piece of work... I'm new to your blog, and feel joy having found it. Safe travels
I love the colour and texture of this. It must have been a wonderful piece to handstitch.
Inspirational.
best wishes,

This is a masterpiece I could never tire of. The colors flow and mesmerize just like looking through water. For me this is almost breathtaking. I feel excitement at first, but I know that the longer I view it the more calming influence it would have.
I can't even begin to comment on the technical aspects of this textile, so I'll just say it is awesome in every way.
Should you do a book, I, too, would hope it cronicled in detail maybe several of your favorite pieces from a description of your seed of inspiration and initial vision through the entire process, detailing & illustrating each stage to the finished creation. I don't just want to know how you do something, I want to know why.
Thanks for sharing. Your blog is a treasure!
Very successful piece! Enjoy Damascus and the souks.
wow dij that just shimmers - it's gorgeous. re the book - i don't care i'll buy it anyway :) something about the creative process and looking for the possibilities in hand dyed fabrics, perhaps. i'm always worried that i'll ruin the fabric by cutting/stitching it because it looks like a work of art in itself
enjoy syria xxx
what a spectacular piece this is.
