Thank you both. As a whole, I am happy with this body of work. I have exhausted flowers (for now), and am ready to do something different.
I was thinking of trying to physically connect these in some way and enter them in Sacred Threads. I want to rest on my laurels for a day or so before I get into thinking about where we might exhibit our work. Though I have thought that Quilting Arts would be an interesting choice.
Next, I want to reprise all of our work at one time to "end" the blog. Susan, I have your pictures of all your work. Linda -- I'll not only bring November and December, but I'll bring my camera so I can shoot yours and then I'll have all the pictures to post at once. Once I have all the pictures, I can not only post them, but put them on CD's for us to have and to use as a marketing tool to see if anyone wants to exhibit the work.

I love this piece Elizabeth! I think it might be my favorite one. I love all the verses you used and the candles and the sheer overlay. Can you please bring this and November over on Friday so that I can see it in person? I really need to see it in person. I forgot to look for the color of the month on this. Nothing is really popping out so I'll have to go back for a relook to pick it out. What a wonderful set of pieces--these should go to bible study you know.
Fini!

I am finished! And I tried to add some more bling and the piece said "no." The candles are silk-screened (whoa -- that was fun). Organza layers for printing and the poinsettia, raw-edge applique for the holly (in the final color), and an overlay of tulle with sparkly snowflakes. There is glitter all over my studio! But I'm done. I think it feels good.

Very cool Elizabeth. I see I am not the only one doing a little bling bling this month.I am assuming that the shiny things are the beads you were doing, although they look like crystals in the picture. Your channel quilting is perfect on this.
The verse from Hebrews is very interesting. Did you see last week the human tooth that was found in Israel? The archaeologists are dating it over 40,000 years old? It made me start thinking about the timeline of creation. What if G-d's timeline is so different from what we think it is that it throws the entire idea of man's time out the window? The verse about the mountain being created made me think about it again. If our ideas about human time are really out of sync with G-d's, then everything that we think is occurring now that concides with the end times could have an entirely different time reference than we might might be inferring. Anyway, it certainly gives me food for thought.
I can't wait to see what you have planned for December. Hope you have a wonderful family get together today. Happy New Year!
