Sisters

This is pieced, appliqués, painted and thread painted. A gift for my sister. I grew up not knowing my sister and she found me 2 years ago. We live on opposite coasts of the US. The quilt represents the love that binds us now and the yearning to have been these 2 little girls growing up together. The quilt is filled with emotion and love for each other.

What a beautiful quilt! The story brought tears to my eyes. The little girls look almost transparent. Wonderful achievement.

This is beautiful and the story and motivation for creating it is what gives quilting its real meaning. The love for others - our family and friends and helping people we do not know. I am so very happy for you that you and your sister found each other and now have that close bond of sisterhood. It is so evident in your quilt! I hope the future brings you two many blessings and all things good!
