I made this little quilt to give hope to those in need of it. The angel will watch over those in dire need from illness, death, divorce or anything that seems, at present, quite bleak.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
-Alexander Pope,An Essay on Man, Epistle I, 1733
Hope springs eternal when this darling is in the room. The background fabric is hand dyed muslin with tea to give it an aged look. She is machine-appliqued with a button hole stitch. In her arms is a hand-embroidered wreath of french knots.
As she floats among the stars, her golden metallic halo shines.
The word hope has been stitched by hand.
This 11" X 16" mini quilt would be perfect by a child's bedside or hanging above a crib. She would also make a great table topper at Christmas.
It is for sale at Quiltingcafe.etsy.com.
If you would like a hanging sleeve attached or a personalized label, please let me know.
