Magnolia Sewing Circle

Today I got to sew with the ladies and children from church at our regular monthly sewing circle.

They started quilting a new top that had languished in the back corner of the cupboard for years.

I brought it home and cut more strings to make it two rows longer.

Design Wall Monday

This is only a portion of my design wall.

My goal this week is to finish these two pieces. The first one is a sample I’m making for classes. The second one is a sample for C-Spire that never materialized.

Magnolia is Finished

Life …

We received a bouquet of fresh cut flowers with this small flower that was only 3/4” in diameter. I was amazed at closer inspection to find lots of tiny yellow flowers systematically placed around the center. Truly this is a work of God.

… about 7 hours before the lunar eclipse.

More of the Southern Magnolia

On my design wall ---

I have been battling with this piece ever since I came home from Alpine, AL. Since it was already quilted I felt like I needed to use something besides fabric to give it life. I chose oil pastels for that was what I had on hand.

Thanks to my niece Claire Bleu for tutoring me through the coloring part.

You see … it used to look like this … (and I thought I was ready to add the center and bind it and be done!) ...

… and this.

Now I think I really am ready to make and add the center seed pod and put a binding on it.
