Cindy Richard – Horizon
Emma
I tried to think of an unexpected take on the concept of horizons. While playing peek-a-boo with my granddaughter, Emma, it suddenly struck me. Everyone’s horizon, or viewpoint is unique to each person. Emma, a one-year-old, who is learning everything from scratch has a fresh, new horizon. The simplest of activities delight her. Every experience shapes her and molds her thoughts and opinions, which is evident in her personal horizon. In this quilt Emma was peeking at me through a window in a playhouse. From her little world, safe in the playhouse, she could watch her larger surroundings.
Techniques: Raw edge applique on cotton fabric; free motion quilting; hand-sewn faced binding.

Horizon as a guide-line, teacher and orientation point. Very nice interpretation and as always, beautiful work. Your quilting is very effective!
What a refreshing interpretation of the subject. I love the details you have created in your quilt and the curious way that your granddaughter is peeping out from her viewpoint. I particularly like the blue ribbon in her hair. Well done
Very creative and unique interpretation of our theme. You captured Emmas sweet, eager and anticipating expression looking out from her safe play house onto a whole new world. Nicely done Cindy!
