Genesis and Gethsemane

Life …

The Little Red Caboose always came last.

 

Fun in the gravel while waiting for the meat to grill.

 

 

… as a Quilter

And now I have finished the two art pieces that my niece Coleen B. Barnhart started here.

 

She can magically make beauty with scissors and fabric.

 

After she finished her part, I did the thread painting, quilting, binding, and finishing.

 

Genesis – “Let there be light”

An Explosion of Joy and New Life

 

 

Detail

 

The Back

Insert a small dowel, chop stick, or skewer under the top triangles. Pound a nail in the wall and balance the quilt on the nail.

 

We lovingly refer to Coleen as Claire Bleu since her mother’s name is also Coleen. 

 

 

Gethsemane – “It was midnight in the garden when the Savior knelt to pray.”

A Dark and Stormy Night

 

I used bobbin thread work to create the lightning.

 

A second dowel, chop stick, or skewer may be placed under the bottom triangles to keep the bottom of the quilt from flipping up.

 

These pieces measure 9-1/2” X 9-1/2” and are for sale for $150 each (I wish I could say in my Etsy Store, but I don’t have one.) I guess you will just have to email me.

Linking with Nina Maria's "Off the Wall Friday."

My "Lovely Year of Finishes" goal for June is to finish a small art quilt I started here.
