It is pieced in such a way that some words can be readily read and others are seen as a shape rather than a word. This calming phrase made the construction of this quilt very peaceful.
It seems like a timely sentiment for these challenging times.

All Shall Be Well
During this time of the Covid29 pandemic the world is not the same place that it was just a few months ago.
This art quilt was constructed in a black and white colour scheme with the accent of a bright green anchor. The white fabric is a patchwork of a variety of styles of printing and writing, done by me with India ink, primitive pens and markers using the words "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well" from Julian of Norwich (1342-1416). The bright green accent colour was chosen for it's visual impact but also because it is the colour of hope, which is also symbolized by the anchor. The white patchwork stripes are quilted in bright green thread with the words that are written on the fabric ... the black stripes are quilted in black thread with water-like stitching.
It is pieced in such a way that some words can be readily read and others are seen as a shape rather than a word. This calming phrase made the construction of this quilt very peaceful.

The backing is a coordinating black-white-grey print and the bright green binding is made from the same fabric as the anchor. This art quilt measures approximately 27.5" x 24.75".
This is available in my Etsy shop.
