I see that babuci shared an image of her,

quilt, hand made of course hanging on a wall

The Celtic Interlace interests me.  Are those your own designs?  What technique did you use to apply the decoration ... did you use embroidery? 

About 6 years ago, I attended a class on the Art of the Celts, their Westward migration, with examples from the time of the Hallstadt and la Tiene cultures ... and finally into the British Isles ... and the emergence of Insular Style of decoration ... also known as Celtic Knotwork or Celtic Interlace.  You can see the class handouts by visiting Malvarack Galleries and then click on "ipsley house" at the bottom of the page ... or click this link.  The two of their books that I own are "Celtic Art and Embroidery" and "Celtic Design, Pattern and Color".  Wonderful resources. 

Your center design is similar to my gallery image, "Lugh's Ring" ... of course, yours is more complex, more interesting. 

Thanks for sharing ...
