Once again, I was invited by the host of this blog, to share my experiences with you. I have to admit, that this is always a pleasure, because I admire Sylwia 1&nbsp; for her diligence, skill, and kindness. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp; Today I am going to tell you a story that started a few years ago. Coincidently, of course on Facebook, a friend of mine posted an image of a piece of work made using the quilling method. I dreamed that maybe someday I would be able to sew a quilt based on that image, but then I did not even know how to start. After some time, I found out that the author of that work was Yulia Brodskaya (I\u2019ve mentioned here before that she is my favorite artist) and the original title is \u201cThe Beauty of Old Age\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp; Years passed, on my path I met many wonderful and talented girls, and among them was Sylwia Ignatowska. Meeting Sylwia 1 brought many positive changes in my sewing life. When she invited me to her studio, I was stunned with joy. After returning home, I had the hope that if Sylwia 1 can create such beautiful works, maybe I can succeed too. When I mentioned to her about my plans of trying to sew this particular quilt, she asked- \u201cwhat are you waiting for?\u201d. I guess I needed that little push. She helped me print up a template and then I took the most difficult step, that is, I started.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little Devil: \u201cYou won\u2019t manage.\u201d Little Angel: \u201cYou\u2019ll do it the way <em>you<\/em> can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little Devil: \u201cSylwia 1 would do it much better.\u201d Little Angel: \u201cSo what? It\u2019s <em>your<\/em> work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little Devil: \u201cWhen Yulia sees it, she\u2019ll burst out laughing.\u201d Little Angel: \u201cThen you\u2019ll laugh together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little Devil: \u201cGive up.\u201d Little Angel: \u201cDon\u2019t even think about it.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0And so, this continued from the very beginning, all the way to the end. I have experienced that the artist\u2019s life is not a bed of roses. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp; When I finished, I asked Yulia for permission to show my quilt in public, and of course she agreed and wrote back to me that one little letter can make a big difference. A few weeks later Yulia posted my quilt next to her project on her Instagram account. That was a huge honor for me.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sylaquiltartist.pl\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baba2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sylaquiltartist.pl\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baba2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:contain;width:320px;height:412px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Beauty of Old Age\u201d by Yulia Brodskaya&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sylaquiltartist.pl\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baba.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sylaquiltartist.pl\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baba.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:contain;width:349px;height:465px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cPi\u0119kno przemijania\u201d by Sylwia Haluch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, it\u2019s me Sylwia 2, again.
