RED AND WHITE QUILT

February 2012, Carolyn Burgess AKA Lady Scrapbag, presented a Red and White Quilt Exhibit at the Art Enables Off-Rhode Studio in Washington, DC.  Contributing Quilt Artist were members of the Uhuru Quilting Guild, Daughters of Dorcas and WeeBee Quilters.


I submitted a wall hanging which I machined pieced, hand embroidered and quilted.  The quilting was done in large stitches and I used red and white fabric given to me from my California guild members "Vallejo Piecemakers Club" of Vallejo, CA.



I wasn't able to attend the exhibit opening, heck, I wasn't able to attend the exhibit at all.  But I sent a request to my family and friends and they
represented me well.





I wish someone would have a class in "hand" embroidery.  I have several books on embroidery but can't always follow the directions.  So, I just have to hang in there and practice and practice and practice so more.              











I can't flip this picture around, so forgive me if you have to crank your neck to see it.  Will post a better photo shot when I do figure it out.   I didn't bring the design board so I cannot get a better picture.  Will post a better photo shot when I do figure it out.   Enjoy my creation.




WISHING ALL A BLESSED AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Things I'm thankful for:

- my family and friends
- each day my Lord and Savior blesses me with another day and for
- all the brave military men and women 


Piece and Prayers till the next time
