Pick a Room. Any Room.

Pick a room, any room, in our home and you'll discover my friend Linda's presence.  Linda and I met at Simon Fraser University in B.C. over 38 years ago and quickly became close friends. A friendship that remains constant and connected to this day despite the physical distance between us. So it's natural that her presence would be so strong in our home.  Add to that, she's one of the most generous people I know. On top of that, she's also THE most creative person I have ever met. I could write about Linda and about the strength our friendship until the cows come home, but for this blog today, I really want to concentrate on her beautiful fabric creations. 
Again, pick a room, any room, in our home and you'll find at least one of her gorgeous wall hangings. Many parts of our house need attention. The floors aren't finished, some walls need to be repainted, trim needs to be put up and we won't mention the clutter, but so long as I have inspiring, comforting, lovely things on the walls, our home is complete.
​The following quilted wall hangings from Linda in this blog are a few of the many I have from her (some of my favourites). Please enjoy them.

By far the biggest thing Linda has ever made for me is a full sized quilt for my double bed. It took her ages to match my room colours (purple and teal) and on one visit to see her, she had me sort through a pile of fabric and pick out every piece that I considered to be teal. A year or two later, she sent me the gorgeous quilt. And told me, with some glee and satisfaction,  that some of the teal wasn't necessarily what I had chosen as teal.  But you can see how stunning the end result is. 
Every fabric creation Linda has made for me has a little square on the back with its title and date. Similarly with the quilt. So every night, I fall asleep "Beneath Winter Stars" no matter what season it is. And I fall asleep feeling loved, comforted and cherished from one of the dearest people in my life.

I am a fibre artist, and since I decided that I could not make money selling my fibre art, I only give it to people that I love. So I can understand this connection. Treasure your friendship and these works,

Wow! I think you may have more of my work hanging in your home that I have in my home. Thank you dear friend. It is a grey and rainy day on the wet coast but I feel sunnier knowing that my work is safe and loved.
