I know that my training as a musician makes my very critical of musical performances, because after you spend years training your ears to hear notes that are out of tune, too loud, not in rhythm, etc... it's hard to turn it off!<br /><br />I think this can also be true in the visual arts - we get so close to the work while we're constructing it, focussing on all the little details, we can't see all that's good! These pieces are both lovely, and I'm so glad that you see that now! :-) Candied Fabricshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959758829749783921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-51372112762038993222012-10-13T12:50:18.567-04:002012-10-13T12:50:18.567-04:00It is funny how that happens.

I've sometimes hated a piece when I stuffed it away, only to discover I liked it when I next came across it.<br />I really love the second one!HollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161858859864895000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-85234767330254100622012-10-13T06:49:36.878-04:002012-10-13T06:49:36.878-04:00I love them both!

I just returned from Florence/Tuscany and I must say that the quilt (Machu) reminds me of there, as well, with the buildings so close together and tiny, wonderful places tucked in corners. <br /><br />I also just put away a quilt-in-process that was making me crazy. It may or may not get finished one day. I'm happy to be at the point in my life where the crazy-makers can be tucked away with no guilt.

But you made so many others I do like ;-) <br />Elshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599607935285683167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-54921288398035750482012-10-12T13:44:25.981-04:002012-10-12T13:44:25.981-04:00The "Cruciform Series 1"
