Lonely ... Snow Angel

Lonely -- 8"X10"
...but wait. I see a snow angel.

The original picture of my sister Coleen looking at a snow angel that she made.

I tweaked it with a photo app and printed it on fabric. Then I layered it with batting and the backing and quilted lines +/- 1/8” apart.

To enhance the figure, I stitched between those 1/8” lines.

This is the back, a reject from my first printing. Notice the “ghost “ figure on the right which is the extra stitching of the figure on the front.

Cypress, Willows, and Dandelion

I'm part of the group Southern Fiber Artists. Within that group there are ten of us Sharing Fiber Art. We each make an 8"x10" piece of art for each person in the Shared Fiber Art group. So, I've been making and receiving pieces of fiber art.  Here are some of my finished works that I need to pass out to fellow artists.

Quilt Presentation in Our Home

This past weekend I fixed up displays of my quilts in our home and then had a "trunk show" with many guests. It was a fun time sharing my work a couple different times to those that came to listen.

Peacock Quilt -- Not Even Solomon

When my sister Sheila saw my peacock Palatial Plumage she fell in love with it and wondered if I could make one for her. She helped me with so much of my domestic work that I decided to make her one. She helped choose the fabric for the background and has a guest room where she wants to display it. In the mean time, I hope it can do some traveling.

A symbol of resurrection, the butterfly brings hope, endurance, and change to the meaning of life. This is my entry for the Sacred Threads exhibit "Backyard Escape."
