Fiber Arts Alliance

What inspiration abounds as women from many cities gather to share their creativity in Fiber Arts.

Anita   (who drives a few hours to meet with the group) is hand appliqueing the circles for a class sample in the first photo and is almost finished with the string pieced wall quilt in the second photo.  Aren't they lovely!

Update - "She Can Laugh"

Machine quilting has begun with barely visible quilting in black in the centers of the Free Style Cobblestone blocks on  "She Can Laugh At The Days To Come".  Next I've begun quilting differently in each block using somewhat matching thread. 

Still Verseless

Hand pieced, hand quilted, sleeve attached...

 now for a verse.

I always pray about a piece as I am creating it, for the recipient, the specific verse that the Lord desires for them.  Usually, I know and have embroidered it already - way before this point. 
So far, I'm not sure what verse to embroider on this piece.
PS to a no-reply comment - I often schedule to post at 2 AM while I'm still snoozing.

Thankful For Independance

I'm thanking God today for the many who have served to defend, secure and continue the freedom we enjoy in the USA.  I'm especially thankful for my nephew, Zach who is currently serving.

Another Note To Self

When you continually pilfer through your remnant bag

and say "nah" at certain ones, it's time to pass them along.

Note To Self

These remnants are from the "all hand" wall hanging which is almost complete which is from the remnants of my bed quilt completed a few years ago.

Note to self: When you are "over" certain fabrics from a project, don't start another project with them just because they are already cut!
