Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good #2” is the second quilt in my new affirmation series. I believe that you do your best work (whatever that work is) when you look good and feel good. Each of the quilts in this series starts with a center panel of an African woman looking her best. Her dress inspires the color of each quilt.
Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good #2 measures 28 X 32 inches and is primarily yellow and green. Although domestic fabrics anre included in the quilt, the overall esthetic is African.
I quilted the quilt on my new Sashiko machine. It creates a stitch that mimics the look of hand quilting which I love. After quilting the quilt in a curvy pattern in yellow thread so that the stitches would become a design element, I added a green batik binding that captures the colors in the quilt.
Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good #2 is embellished with yo-yos, cowrie shell, buttons, words, and charms. The charm in the center of the quilt reads “Beautiful Girl, you can do hard things.’” The charm near my signature reads “Life is good”.
The back of the quilt depicts. African women to carry out the theme of the quilt. There is a hanging sleeve on the back for easy display and a label that documents the quilt.
I signed it on the front. Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good #2 is unique and one-of-a-kind although it is part of a series.
