Grace

This is one of the quilts I am currently working on. I have just started stitching by hand sun rays and will be adding bead work.

Updates on Ezekiel's Dream

This is the eagle face with the thread painting for feathers.  I still need to do the beak.  Below is a color tryout for the round background.

Ezekiel's Dream

I've started another quilt called Ezekiel's Dream.  Posted are the four faces and one of the feathers.  I will be thread painting the faces and have about 100 feathers to sew.  The background of the quilt is a large circle made with a 12 inch wedge.

Recent Projects

I've been doing a lot of sewing and quilting, but not much blogging. My daughter and I spent several days making scrap quilts for our community backpack program. This program gives kids clothes and blankets when take from meth homes.

I have also made two large fleece baby quilts. One for a friend and one for my soon to be grandson.

I have spent a few days each week helping some home schoolers work on quilt blocks for the school block challenge in Paducah. These quilts were done by girls age 4-12.

My latest endeavor was to make some fleece quilt with angels for a 2 and 3 year old whose house burnt down last weekend. These were designed by my 11 year old and me. We have some other angel designs we would like to make into quilts at another time.

I am still working on my stations of the cross, my triple Irish train boarder, and our challenge quilt for my guild as well as a Christmas wall hanging.

Stations of the Cross

I am still working on several quilting projects, as well as homeschooling my daughter. I decided I was not happy with the start of the garden scene. I bleached the pathway and used dye and paint to darken the background. (Next time I do this before I start quilting.) The betrayal is drawn and painted on linen. I will add 30 coins images next before quilting.

The cross background is woven with strips of cloth.
Some are printed with parts of Isaiah 57. The cross
itself is made of used dryer sheets that I have painted
on with acrylic fabric paint.
