KNOTTED BUTTONHOLE STITCH ART QUILT
I wanted to make a healing doll for depression ,a request made after my last breast cancer doll.But my design didn't quite translate into 3d.
Making it in 2d has helped me sort out issues I had with the doll.
I also used the knotted blanket stitch for this weeks TAST challenge.
The design is based on the old concept the that a person has a soul ,intelligence,and a body .
A red layer of energy surrounds the person to help combat the depression that also surrounds the person though doesn't touch the person.
I made the quilt egg shaped (roughly speaking) another old concept -the universe is egg shaped. And 3 strands hang down from without the quilt representing Love,Happiness,Health.

your story is very touching, I have problems with depression, maybe I will try and make a healing doll following the way you have done it.
