Clergy Stole Side 2

 Creating "fabric" strips

from batik remnants is a delight for my soul. 

Re- purposing tiny pieces is such fun as

Side 2 of my current Clergy Stole has begun.

 Side 1  with "The righteous will thrive like a green leaf"

Proverbs 11:28

and hand appliqued oak leaves. 

I plan to finish it an place it for sale in my ETSY Shop before the weekend.

Christmas Gifts& Stocking Stuffers For Sewers And Quilters

 I really enjoy needle handwork and do it often. 

Sadly, I've lost many needles and my family tends to "find" them

 unexpectedly and not happily. 

So, recently my now grown daughter purchased

 a Needle Keeper / Minder for me in preparation to watch her 2 little boys on a trip...

go figure :)

 

What a great tool! I didn't loose one needle the whole 2 weeks! 

 Success. So I decided to create some and share the fun.

$10 includes S & H with lots of color options. Clink on the following link.

OOOPS - Forgot to Quilt It

Okay, maybe you've never done this, maybe you have.

In my excitement to complete this Wedding Gift,

I wrapped it in pretty paper and was preparing to add a bow and I

realized I had forgotten to photograph it for my blog.

So, I carefully unwrapped it and was going to photograph it,

when I realized that after doing the "escape hatch" finish

where binding is not necessary, I actually forgot to quilt it.

HA!  I'm so thankful I caught it before the big day!

Crazy About Curves Workshop Progress

Yesterday I posted about the

 Crazy About Curves

with Vikki Pignatelli. 

I've completed the pinning of the fabric

and the left half is blind stitched down.

I'm not completely satisified with the top 3 light blue hand dyed fabrics

being the same and am open to suggestions as to

how to possibly differentiate them slightly.

with Vikki Pignatelli today.

Below are some are 2 of Vikki's small Quilted Art pieces.

is an excellent teacher.

"Righteous Will Thrive Like A Green Leaf" Proverbs 11:28 Clergy Stoles

 In creating this newest Clergy Stole

for Ordinary Times, I sought out

a verse to hand embroider on the left hand side.

Remembering the

 Falling Ginkgo Leaves Quilted  Wall Art Hanging 

I created previously, I considered that verse but

felt it wouldn't fit  in the space 

until I considered embroidering the verse vertically.

Another Fall Oak Leaf

Here's another smaller Fall Oak Leaf

for the stole I am creating.

Working with solids is challenging 

but I'm getting the hang of it.

"What's In Your Hand?"

 

This wall hanging is back from the Asheville Quilt Show

and ready for sale in my Etsy Shop.

During the online April Art Daily 2015 online I hosted, I personally challenged myself to create a "hand" block daily using various approaches along with hand dyed or batik fabric.
I blogged daily of my adventure not having a specific plan of what to do with the blocks.
It was so much fun researching "hand" formations and choosing numerous techniques.
I chose to combine them into this approximately 32 inch X 32 inch Wall Art . 2nd photo is the "Hand" label on the back of the Wall Art.

The title comes from something Basket Artist, Matt Tommey often asks artists, "What is In Your Hand?" meaning what has God already given you to work with?

''No Longer Two But One" Hand Embroidery

I'm happy to see there's been a

renewed interest in hand sewing and embroidery.

There's actually a  Slow Stitching Movement.

I know I enjoy having something to hand sew at the ready.

This piece incorporates a section I pieced

during the Scrap Vortex Quilt A Long .

It's for an upcoming Wedding Gift ~ 

thus the hand embroidered verse,

"No longer two but one" Matthew 19:6

Modern Ordinary Times Reversible Clergy Stole

 Side 1

What fun to create an  improvisational  pieced

Reversible  Clergy Stole from 

green batik fabrics. I also pulled a few Free Style Cobblestone

blocks previously pieced from my stash.

 Side 2 

I'm still enjoying creating with the green solid fabrics

from my friend Eydie. A challenge

since I primarily work with batiks.

It's available for sale in my Etsy Shop.
