I would like to thank the women who continued to quilt on this piece during
the spring and into summer when I was away. This kind of support and
belief continues to amaze and inspire me.

This final panel of the Manitoulin Circle Project is entitled Layers of Time. The wool squares, the lace doilies, the squares of damask in the lower half of the white area were layered onto foundations before being hand quilted. All of the materials are vintage, most donated.

Time moves so quickly, even when you do slow things. Then it is gone.
This type of work does hold time. So many layers and levels of time are caught here.

wish i could touch the miracle of those textures
This is so beautiful, the textures so tactile
Such a beautiful memorial to those who have worked with textiles in the past and do so today. Thanks, Judy, for naming today's otherwise anonymous creators.
Oh my Judy! I am in love with everything about this project, the honouring, the community, the time... it is so full of the muchness of life!
This one might be my favourite of all time. Dear Judy I remember so well seeing a show of yours for the very first time.....walking into that gallery and the immediate feeling of being embraced by your work and wanting to embrace it back. How wonderful it would be to be in Thunder Bay in September.
oh my, judy! this is simply too amazing for words! i am awe-struck! i can't get the images of it out of my mind...and feel enriched by it!

So interesting, your word 'embrace'. I love that.
Especially since I just sent my daughter in England a quilt that I have been sleeping under myself for three months - because I wanted her to be able to pull it over her and feel hugged by me.
