    Default my guild challenge quilt
    my guild's challenge is a small quilt representing a song title or phrase. I've been overwhelmed with time demands but wanted to participate and decided on the Bob Seger song "Against the Wind"--this is suppose to represent my DD and her beloved, former horse Lady. I could not find a good picture of the 2 of them cantering so decided to modify a picture of a Native American warrior running on a paint (Lady was a paint horse, too). the picture horse is probably NOT an Arabian like Lady--but think my daughter will love it after the challenge anyway! Used lots of thread and then did some lite coloring with my Derwent Inktense pencils.[ATTACH=CONFIG]552641[/ATTACH]

    I love the quilting to represent the wind.

    If you are gifting it to her, I am sure she will be delighted with this lovely quilt of memories of days gone by.

    What a nice job of thread painting. Good memories, I'm sure.
