Here's my version of the Friendship Star. I call it "Essay on Friendship" because designing, sewing and finishing this little quilt gave me ample opportunity to reflect on my friends and the nature of friendship in general. In our modern world we make friends, we part from friends, we move away or they do, some friends pass on, yet due to the miracle of Internet, we are part of a communication web that connects the entire world.
The two main stars in this quilt represent me and my best friend, my husband. Disappearing at the periphery are dear friends we have left behind, in the lower left-hand corner is the heartbreak of my close friend who is moving away. I quilted the background to represent the Worldwide web and occasionally indicated "ghost" friends from my past who still haunt my mind and heart.
Very meaningful! Nice work!
