I'm in a sewing bee of adventurous women.
We exchanged little 6 inch quilts this week. The theme was thankfulness in honor of Thanksgiving.
There were 12 of us, so we needed to finish 12 blocks. I made
about 25 because they were so much fun. (You see 11 here because one
person didn't finish in time)
Like any creative challenge, each person interpreted the theme their own way. Llift the tablecloth on the middle one, there is a dog under it. Under that one, "my hero", was in a group showing what the maker was personally thankful for.
The one below is alone because it was easier to photo nine.
I haven't decided which of the ones I kept will go into this collection, or how I will display them.
What do you think?
I might keep them as a flip book, putting grommets in to link them. I might hang them joined somehow as a wall hanging.
They are a connection to my friends.
This is one of the 11 that I gave away in the exchange. Each one was unique but my theme was painted trees and words. It is reverse
stenciled, the words joy, peace, love, art, and grow written in pen, and
hand beaded with bugle beads, and has couched threads. I shadowed the
tree with prismacolor pencils
I'll show you my entire group later... hope you are making something fun today!
