Ah Yes, sewing. I had been… What’s the word? Oh yes dreading this ever since we were told we would be making quilts. But as the following blog post will describe it wasn’t that difficult.

When I first started my quilt square design I thought, oh this is so easy I’ll just show the transformation from human to Pologonian. Nope. Try drawing anything somewhat realistically looking like a tansformation on an iPad and you have the word, impossible. After that failure I moved on to finding the island, so I literally drew an island

Not bad eh? I got the sun after hopelessly trying to draw a sunset. And to replace the miserable ocean I simply used the ocean from the picture.

Now I must explain the artistic genius behind this masterpiece. The sunset represents the end of an old life and the begging of a new one, the clouds show the leaving of worry and sorrow, and the island represents the island. Next came the sewing. I have no experience in the sewing department, I went into this completely fresh. The first thing that I did was sew around the sun to add detail.Next I sewed around the border so it held together better, and outlined the palm tree and the island for affect.

Se me sewing Here

She finishes the transformation, but now must face her biggest fear, the ocean. She is faced with a crossroads. Face her lifelong fear of the ocean and everything inside it, or die. She spends hours, days swimming in the Bermuda Triangle. She discovers her new strength of swimming and strange ability to breathe underwater, the characteristics of the soon to be Pologonians. All of her swimming and fear rewards her with a perfect beautiful island, untouched and unknown by society.
