While looking at a photo album and reminiscing,
I came upon the chart from the contraction monitor I was hooked to during
my son’s birth... These lines told no lies! The motif is based
on the monitor chart and I chose colours that explore the temperatures
of red. The embroidery and the quilting highlight my memories of this
prelude to the arrival of a fine young man.
