Comments on: My Quilt https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/03/21/my-quilt/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:46:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Kathleen Ciclovan https://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/03/21/my-quilt/#comment-953336 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:34:26 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=26720#comment-953336 dear Gentle Author,

What a surprise to read about and see the pics of your tapestry quilt…..I was browsing to see if anyone else had made one….as I am in the process of making four….and began collecting the forgotten works of others as you did…..now I have enough to make one romance, one animal, and two religious themed ones….I even have “The Angelus” as you do. I hope my quilts will be as gorgeous as yours. Kathleen

Thanks for sharing! The squirrels are such an intricate piece of needlework, they would make a gorgeous pillow, and deserve to be displayed. Your blogs are always a joy!

I love quilts – and tapestry work – altho have never tried either myself. Your quilt is stunning, and so is the story behind it. Thank you for sharing this lovely tale with us. I hope to meet you one day, GA!

Thanks for sharing…and a great ovation for this blog! Tiziana, Italy

For sharing your thoughts and beliefs and the caring for your mother.
For finding beautiful handwork and using it in such a lovely way. I am a quilter and can see that every ‘block’ has a special meaning – not only for you, but for someone else to have spent time stitching each and every one of them.
Hugs and blessings from New Zealand.

Of course every piece has a tale and you think of the person who did all those tiny stitches, then the whole piece in remembrance.

Yes it’s inspirational.

Also love your Blog. My dad was born and spent his childhood years in Hackney. His mother’s family being hand made shoemakers for generations. Uncle Alf being the last shoemaker. His father came from Somerset so total culture shock to him.
