"View from Shanta's window" 1994.

Shanta was my therapist during a bad bout of post-natal depression. I gazed at this view so many times trying to sort out stuff. It was so restful and soothing. This was also the first time I machine-pieced hexagons, following instructions from Marie du Toit's book Machine Patchwork. I later had the thrill of meeting her at a quilt show and was able to tell her how great her instructions were.

That said, I think my days of intricate piecing are numbered....!
