YES! Easter Carrots!

Easter Carrots? Why not!

Carrots begin as tiny lifeless seeds that are buried in the dark ground 

as Jesus' body was dead and buried in darkness. 

As Carrots exhibits new life, it can be 

a symbol of Jesus' resurrection

and new life and  His sustenance for living offered to us.

So yes, Easter Carrots!

Daily Art Leaves Progress

I find it interesting that even though I did not plan 

particular sizes for my leaf blocks

 as I participated in the February Art Daily Challenge, 

  the leaves puzzled together quite nicely. 

Can you spot the few coping strips

Bonus Block ~ February Art Daily

 During the February Art Daily Challenge

I combined  Day 14 with  Day 15

since they were already fused from a previous 

project and only needed hand stitching.

And yet, as I'm preparing to piece 

February Art Daily Leaves it needed one more block.

A fellow quilter suggested using another painted swirl background

which will fit nicely in the open space

next to Day 14 and Day 15.

 Guess this banner for the Chrysalis Flights wasn't quite finished 

and needed a sun still.

Sun appliqued with ribbon rays

and a wooden slat hanger.

Piecing February Art Daily Leaves

 February Art Daily was a great experience for me

and I have 28 fun blocks from the challenge.

Now to put the blocks together that were randomly

appliqued and stitched. I'm thinking of adding

hand dyed fabric coping strips between the

block similarly as I combine Free Style Cobblestone blocks.

Suggestions??

Cutting Free Style ~ God Sustains You Banner

Drawing is not a creative art I've put

much effort in to. But today, I daringly

freely cut a mountain  utilizing fabric

 I had previously dyed and felt 

led to use for this banner. 

I also stretched myself and drew a silhouette.

 I turned the edges and machine stitched the mountain,

painted Ultrasuede and cut the silhouette.

I painted Ultrasuede grey and used a font for the letters.

This banner will be used at Chrysalis Flights in my area. 

What a fun adventure!

Patiently Hand Quilting "Rotations" $650

Although progress seems slow outwardly,

patiently hand quilting is a discipline that I enjoy.

It offers time to be still, pray and create all at once.

Hand Quilting Circles - "Rotations" $650

 I enjoy having a "hand" project.

Hand appliqueing batik and hand dyed 

fabrics on this bright blue hand dyed 

fabric has been fun.

Black Big Stitch around the

circles gives them more prominence. 

I chose black and green borders

to highlight the black batik and 

green hand dyed fabrics in the circles.

I'm considering black Big Stitch wavy lines 

along the right side.

Memorial Wall Art ~ "Joe"

Free Style Cobblestone blocks created

from a client's dad's clothing 

shortly after his death,

are pieced together and embellished

with buttons and tabs.

"Joe" will be remembered as

"Husband, Dad, Paw Paw".

 The hanging sleeve on the back is an actual sleeve

from one of his shirts. 

It was a privilege to create this memorial

Wall Art piece and pray for this family as they honor him.
