Any of these wall hangings can be reproduced in other colours if desired. Just email
with the name of the quilt in the subject line and let me know what you
want. Each has a sleeve attached across the top of the back for
hanging. I do some piecing by machine, but all appliqué and quilting is
done by hand.
Most of the wall hangings shown are in stock and for sale. Email for pricing and more information.

It Is Well With My Soul is 18" x 33". It is yet another of my "inspirational quotes" series that is expanding as we speak.
The background is a mottled beige print with a navy blue tone on tone for the letters. I used variegated beige/tan thread to quilt the random width vertical lines.
Blessings is 27½" x 39½". The Chinese characters from top to bottom, left to right are:
row 1: Wealth, Luck, Peace & Harmony
row 2: Courage, Longevity
row 3: Love, Long life
row 4: Happiness, Beautiful, Virtue
In
Chinese tradition circles represent a unity between heaven and earth.
Also, red is considered a lucky colour. To hang blessings near your
front door is believed to welcome good fortune to your home.

Blend-in Boy
is 16" x 24". It was inspired by my daughter. When she was about 5
she had a friend over and didn't want her little brother playing with
them. When I insisted she told him, "Ok, we're going to play
superheroes, you can be Blend-in Boy ... as in go stand by that wall and
blend in". Gotta admire her creativity!
Each circle is appliquéd onto a background of a similar colour so that they blend in well.
