Prayer Flags

-
I had the opportunity to do a trunk show and teach about prayer flags at the Greater Salt Lake Quilt Guild Meeting this month.  The quilt I am holding is my first hand pieced, hand quilted piece made about 25 years ago.  It is yet to be finished.  Maybe someday I will feel the need.

I did a lot of applique before I discovered art quilting.


After the trunk show I told the ladies all about prayer quilts and then gave them each a flag to embroider.  Some of the flags had images I stamped on them from my hand carved stamps.  


These ladies are so talented!  
I encouraged them to hang the flags in their yard or give them to someone in need.

I'm joining The Quilting Gallery's Blog Hop Party . . . . . .and giving away this generously sized fat quarter piece of snow-dyed fabric!  Here's a little close up of it's lusciousness. I love the funky designs that come about in snow dyes. Would it make your day to win this fabric?
