This piece started on a sketch pad - which doesn't happen very often in my sewing room - and the verse....If ye abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you....John 15:7. I chose a two color pallette - the complements yellow and purple.I have been trying to lose weight - dieting for two months I have lost 4 pounds....whooppeee - so I am throwing in 3 mile power walks. While on a power walk last week with my jr Feerless we walked thru a cemetary. At one end is a small wire fence with older silk flowers piled inside. I chose to recycle 2 purple sprigs. My husband now teases me about stealing flowers from the graves. Some of those flowers along with glass beads embellish this piece.
This is Word #12. A very good friend has a birthday this month and I have made this piece for her. But I haven't sent it to her yet - so taking a chance that she won't see it here first! It is stitched with beads and weird things stuck in under the binding that I hope will make her laugh and the verse .... A friend loves at all times.....Proverbs 17:17
This is Word #11...Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee. Isa 26:3I started thinking what am I going to do with 52 'coasters' my table tops will be covered 3 deep by the end of the year. After a visit to my father in Texas and seeing the cute appliance covers he had made for his kitchen - I added additional fabric to the back of this one to make it long enough to drape over that ugly toaster oven in the corner. This piece is not quilted yet - but it already cheers me in the morning.
This is Word #2 made the 2nd week this year - but just now being posted. It is a wholecloth, measures about 14x24 and to make the words I AM the background is filled in using a pigment pen writing many of Jesus' words that told who HE is.... I AM the way the truth and the life - no man comes to the Father but by me. John 14:6

I AM the way the truth and the life - no man comes to the Father but by me. John 14:6In the old testament, God told Moses...I AM THAT I AM; and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM had sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14. Throughout the bible, God reveals his character by further stating......I AM...
My daughter says that I'm always looking around for found objects. I tell her it is more fun than going to the store for brand new things.
ReplyDeleteI like your pieces, especially the one with the heart, on top. It looks like you do your quilting with a long arm, am I correct? Very nice, keep on blogging

"I Am" is incredible. Did you consider sending this to Sacred Threads?
