Safety Concerns Mobile


 

 Project Quilting 14.5 challenge, Sew NOT A SQUARE.

 The house mobile includes rolled eyes, a teardrop and question marks for the residents of East Palestine, Ohio who were exposed to the toxic chemicals from the train derailment. Some contaminated waste was transported  locally to Michigan and the question marks make me wonder if they are truly non hazardous and safe.

 Bubble wrapped day of the dead cardstock question mark (for extra protection), textured wallpaper question mark, recycled red foil tear drop, wallpaper and cotton rolled eyes, beads, sequins, clear elastic thread, hand embroidery, machine quilting

The Project Quilting 14.4  challenge was to make a quilt inspired by a book.

The ouch beaded bookmark has a 4 leaf clover that implies good luck to me

Painted blue dryer sheet clouds, textured wallpaper pen nib, hand embroidered eye, recycled silver aluminum paper represents droplets and tears. The red teardrop represents those who had vaccine adverse reactions and injuries including me.
