thread portrait

The Student Union here on campus sent out a solicitation for entries for a faculty/staff art exhibit back in May.  I promptly deleted that.  A few hours later my husband forwarded the email to me and told me I should enter one of my quilts.  I had been wanting to make a memory quilt of my brother who died back in 2012.  I was afraid to start for a long time but this was the kick in the pants I needed.  Here is my thread portrait art quilt.  I call it "Echos of Jeff."
