To me seeing a butterfly is joyful so that was my inspiration for this prayer flag , a couple of antique coasters on an antique linen napkin along with a butterfly and a crocheted flower and voila a prayer flag that I hope my partner will like. Not exactly much sewing involved but a start in the right direction . Oh I should update you on my crazy patch block.....
Sadly I am behind in this class , I had my family visiting for a week and no sewing of any kind took place then , they are far more important to me . Since then I had tried to catch up but I am having a little problem dealing with the hoop and my wrist . I didn't have too much trouble until I started adding the combination stitches and it is a challenge but I will give it my best shot and see how much I can get done , hope I don't run out of time .
I was blessed to have a visit from our son Rob and his family last week , it is always a joy to spend time with them . I wish they lived closer but that is the way it is so I have to be thankful for the time we do get to spend with them . While in the province they visited Peggy's Cove and here is a photo of the family enjoying an early morning visit on the rocks.
Rob, Diane, Caitlin, Christopher and Alyssa .
Thanks Rob for driving that long distance to spend time with us , we sure appreciate it and loved seeing you all . Love you :-)
Thanks for stopping by today , maybe by the next visit I will be in the saddle ;-)
hugs Sheila
I hope you enjoyed your little bit of sewing and I'm sure you will have both feet in the saddle and hands on the reins in no time! A lovely idea for your prayer flag :-) Wonderful to have your family visiting, precious moments for all.
ReplyDeleteI think your butterfly is a great interpretation of JOY. You'll be galloping along in no time. I plan to visit Peggy's Cove in about a month.
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back in that saddle!!! the prayer flag is delightful
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time, Sheila. Your prayer flag is divine, a great display of your imagination! Am loving your crazy block. Makes me want to make one. But I'm going to resist because I'm working on a quilt in the evenings and it must get finished. It's only been 6 years now!:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful for you to have family to visit. Love your Joy project. Your crazy block is looking good. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteFamily is one of the most important things in the world......you can always sew another time! Your prayer flag is lovely, and so is your crazy block. Be kind to yourself, don't force your wrist, it is slowly regaining its strength and will be fine again but it may take a little while to get it back to where it was before the break.
ReplyDeleteSpending time with your family is the best reason for not sewing. I like the way your crazy quilt patch is coming along; looks nice. Love your prayer flag too; Joy, what a nice sentiment.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice looking family portrait on the rocks of Peggys Cove. I know it well!
ReplyDeleteKeep looking... your mojo is there!

Makes me miss my son and his wife who live 6 hrs. away. I am sure you enjoyed every minute.
ReplyDeleteLovely prayer flag. Hope you get your mojo back soon.
Uma famÃlia muito bonita! Imagino o monte de alegria com a visita deles!
ReplyDeleteSeu bloco está indo muito bem.
Como se usa uma "bandeira de oração" ? Percebo que ela é pendurada... Gosto de aprender sobre costumes diferentes.
Ando com problemas no meu blog porque estou fazendo mudanças. Deletei os endereços dos blogs que eu sigo e estou com dificuldade para acessa-los. Agora consegui recuperar o seu.
fico contente em ver você animada com as costurar. Uau!
Um abraço!
A very beautiful family! I imagine the lot of joy with their visit!
Your block is going very well.
As it uses a "prayer flag"? I realize that she is hanging ... I like to learn about different customs.
I've been having trouble with my blog because I'm making changes. I deleted the addresses of the blogs I follow and am having trouble accessing them. Now managed to regain his.
I'm glad to see you excited about the sewing. Wow!
Hugs!
Yahoo....you're back in the saddle again. Joy is the perfect word for your prayer flag. Joy to be creating and joy to spend time with your family.
