Through one of those thought connection processes that you can't really explain, I found the perfect motif to quilt on the background of the other Still Life piece.
My friend Margaret left a comment and then we had an email conversation after which I somehow remembered her Thin Blue Line piece in which she had used the life line heart beat from an ECG.
So, I realised it would be a perfect motif to say more boldly what I want to say with the group of elderly with wheelchair, walker and hospital bed.
I was going to wait to show it here till Friday, but some of the things I was doing today ended up taking more time than I thought it would. I wasn't ready to show them. So, you get to see the quilting step.
I need to fuse the people down and machine applique.
So hopefully for Friday, we can have both finished with their thin black binding.
I have a few title ideas...not sure which to choose yet.
Still Life with Heartbeat
Still Life: Beating On (as companion with the Still Life: Moving On piece)
Still Life with the Beat (?)
Still Life feel the Beat
Any other ideas?
