Conversation is a quilt about marriage.  The couple that commissioned this piece created a long and lasting marriage by combining children, extended families, interests, properties and business endeavors and they have done it by talking and listening.  These two people have created an incredible network reaching out into the world by the close and intimate conversations that they have had with each other.  That is what I created this image to convey.  The Maine Birches are the favorite tree of the wife, the Morning Glories entertwining the leaves are evocative to the husband of his mother's beautiful gardens in Connecticut.  I wanted a clear graphic symbol of these two separate, complex and strong individuals and I could see how the white birches against the black background would give me that.
But I also wanted to convey the beautiful complexity of all of their interlinking relationships of children, friends and family.  In this detail shot you can see the individually dyed and sewn leaves and the intertwining morning glories as well as the many tiny stitches that hold the quilt together.  I have been so impressed with the qualities of this couple and their relationship and I am pleased with the way that Conversation communicates what I see in them.

This is known that cash makes us independent. But what to do when someone has no cash? The only one way is to get the personal loans and commercial loan.
