Jump for Joy

These fabric oulines of my son doing what he loves (jumping around!) are applied to a dip-dyed background. These formed a vertical banner for the EQA exhibition 'Celebrations' at the Festival of Quilts in Bermingham in August 2009. This exhibition will be at the Knitting and Stitching show at the RDS in November and will later move to Wales. The piece is entitled 'Jump for Joy' and is inspired by my eight year old son's ability to celebrate the 'everyday'.
