Virtual Quilt Show: Sally Westcott

An original piece, made, purely, to explore piecing. The blackbirds just seem to be stalking my quilts. I love them. This quilt is made with my own hand dyed fabrics and is heavily machine quilted.

  1. I love it Sally. Everything about it. It's remarkable.

    This is what I hear every time I see one of your Blackbird series.

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see
    All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free

    Black-bird fly
    Black-bird fly, into the light of a dark black night

    Black-bird fly
    Black-bird fly, into the light of a dark black night

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
