Made this lighted glass block started with vinyl leaves. One side has a Thanksgiving theme and the other side has a Halloween theme. The view of the top of the block is the center picture. Just used Mod Podge to glue item.

Papercrafts with cupcake wrappers and punched leaves

Papercrafts at the Plymouth library.

The librarians made Thanksgiving turkey cards with cupcake wrappers and punched leaves. My cards are folded cupcake wrapper flowers and punched leaf flowers for Thank you cards from the same materials they generously provided.

Divided Souls in the United States of America

The spirit of a once united country is no more.  We are split between the socialists and capitalists, and the progressives and the conservatives.We are pro choice for the rights of a woman or pro life, for the rights of the unborn. We are now a divided nation along class, gender, political party, race, and religion. The quilt is a challenge for the theme, Day of the Dead.

Materials: aluminum, beads, charms, cottons, ribbons, sequins, trims
Embossing, sanding and stitching on metals, machine embroidered hands, hand and machine quilting. Patriot font digital quilt, designed in Make the Cut software, printed on fabric.
