Just before I read the challenge I started to listen to U2 songs again. And guess which is my favorite? Of course "one".
So when the first challenge arrived i knew that song needs to be part.
While actively listening to the song text i discovered that apart from the personal history it has also a more general message for me: "Be more caring about your fellow humans and other creatures. We have one World. And we should carry each other instead of fighting each other" And I tried to put this in my piece.
It measures 27 x30 cm
I used patchwork, machine quilting with metallic thread and poly sheen multi
Hand embroidery
And i like that the thread tension which didn't work with my 2 different threads in the letters produced a multicolour effect:)
My name is Maren Renz
At present i am living on El Hierro, Canary Islands, Spain
Where i work volunteerly in a dog shelter and renovate a little house and do handicrafts.
Created for the Project QUILTING 14.1 The First One Challenge.
