All can be revealed

The 'Bag O Stuff' quilt that I made arrived at its destination today so now I can show you the whole thing.

This is the bag o' stuff I received...


This is what I made...


This is the back...


Here is my statement:
"I was nervous to open the bag, but when I did I immediately thought. Hey! Look at the cute little Rain-dancer and I had all sorts of ideas. But then I had some doubts and I wondered if he was a symbol of some sort – I had never seen him before so I took a photo and asked a friend. She said he was Kokopelli!* (She even gave me a tiny piece of Kokopelli fabric that I used in the centre block.) Knowing who he was obviously changed everything so I took another long look at the fabrics and thought he is traditional, some of the fabrics are quite traditional and I went with this design. I loved the buffalo and feather fabrics and wanted to show them off as big as possible. I designed the arrows and used the beads as arrow tail decoration. It has been hand quilted and I was very pleased with the design so I hope its owner is too."

(*Just a note here to say that as a South African, we don't know Kokopelli, just like Americans probably don't know about our Tokoloshe)

I believe Carole was pleased as she said:

"Thank you, Karol-Ann, for my fabulous wall-hanging! Love the way you
made something wonderful out of my fabrics--you have an incredible
imagination! I have a modest collection of Native American art, got
hooked in college, and your piece will fit in perfectly! And it is
hand-quilted!! Just can't thank you enough!"

I can't wait to get mine. I've had a sneaky peek at who made it and their statement (I know, I know, I should just wait, but I couldn't help myself!!) so I'll be camping out next to my mailbox from tomorrow night LOL
