Wow, what gorgeous pieces. Lots of good energy in that project.

It is so wonderful to see a whole community taking part in the making of these panels! Love the backside of "water" (I think) would be sooo good tóúching !!!

lHi Judy,
I saw Cross My Heart today at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. These are the last few days that the Quilt National work will be on display. I have been following your work and I am thrilled to have at last been able to see it in the cloth. Brava!

Yes, this project makes me very proud and happy. It is taking quite a while to do the four panels, but at least we do them. Every Thursday.

enjoyed your interview link. your humor about the male-ness of art history. the female influences. your hundreds of journals. ! Virginia Woolf would be jealous.

Hi Judy, I'm totally speechless...these panels are so beautiful,inspiring & calming to view....just wish I lived in your neck of the woods in order that I could participate too as I love hand stitching.Congrats to you & the community coming together to create these wonders!
Thanks also for visiting my blog...I agree, fabric & thread has amazing healing properties :)

I wonder how all these wonderful people feel and what they think about participating in such a project. I almost never find people working together with no obligation (for a non-comercial purpose, I mean)

I found the Manitoulin Circle project and your blog by chance. Although I have not been to the Manitoulin for many years, I spent many summer vacations visiting my grandparents on the island in the 1950s (Hilly Grove area). This is such a wonderful community project and the panels are beautiful. I am a quilter in Virginia and look forward to someday returning to the island and seeing the quilted panels. Your website, Judy, is quite extensive and I have enjoyed exploring your galleries. I plan to share it with my quilt guild members.
