Soar!

Soar! Intuitive Stitching / Word challenge. For my granddaughter who demonstrated remarkable perseverance after injuries and achieved a medal at the local meet last weekend. It will be incorporated into her memory quilt we are working on together to serve as a reminder to persist and be resilient.

Stripes Cats Postcarsd

The stripes of the 3D blinds (heat transfer vinyl) are twisted out of shape thanks to the cats. Embossed a Perrier water can, die cut out a tree shape, and used the negative space to add paper bar code stripes. Sewed a barcode pot from another drink can and added selvedges at base for this fabric postcard.

Feed Me First...

Enjoyed making this fun postcard for a pink challenge that brings back fond memories of feeding my 3 young grandbabies who were very close in age and were hungry at the same time. As they got older, milk bottles have been replaced by donuts, their favorite new treats.

I also challenged myself to use recycled materials. The background is made from a white dryer sheet that was colored pink. A pink bubble wrap envelope was reused as the border and the wrench handle. The silver wrenches are from an aluminum foil circle from packaging. Embroidery floss scraps make up the nest. A rubber toy donut was sliced in half horizontally and finally added beads for the donut sprinkles to attach to the fabric postcard.

Still Wish You Were Here!

Still Wish You Were Here!

Life today is a huge adjustment from being a couple for 4 decades to being all alone. Not a single day goes by that I don't miss you, your cheerful smile and the sound of your awesome laughter...

My grief postcard to my better half is my interpretation of the Project Quilting Season14.1 Theme :“one”
