Because she won't blow her own trumpet, I'll do it for her - the artist and a good friend of mine, Sharon McEwen Moore, has just completed the most beautiful quilt you can see below.
Each 'yo-yo' is individually hand made, before being stitched onto the quilt. 400 yo-yo's - each a mini masterpiece in its own right - were used to make the beautiful finished item, taking two years of patience and needlework!
I'm lucky enough to own one of Sharon's smaller pieces - a beautiful cushion that is a constant reminder of our friendship and which has pride of place in my home.
Sharon truly is a talented artist, I would have neither the skills nor the patience to produce such items that do deserve to be described as works of art.
A close up to show some of the yo-yo's in detail.
My own McEwen Moore Masterpiece!
Not only is Sharon a creative artist, she is also an imaginative, creative and talented Early Years teacher and you can read her blog here

ReplyDeleteThat takes patience. Working on white fabric without ruining it would be a challenge for me. And the cushion is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding my quilt to your lovely blog Becky! Am very touched by your kindness X
ReplyDeleteWhat a talented lady, a truly beautiful piece of work. You are a lucky girl to have that cushion :-)
ReplyDeletewow!!! I can't believe that she took the time to hand stitch them all on that backing. I am making a runner for my bed but have not considered putting it on backing. Thank you for posting. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSomeone pinned this on pinterest and I just had to visit and tell you I love it! I'm a quilter too.pativ
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have made 1800 yo-yos in the past 1 year! I'm addicted to making them!
