Prayer Flags

I joined the Prayer Flag swap on
ChristianPaper Artists Yahoo Group...
had to make 9 flags.....
didn't think I could get that done...

I started out stitching.
The bird above is a piece I made years ago and never did anything with.
So I cut it and made it a prayer flag.


Well.... that opened up a whole new world of joy!
And I finished my flags using fabric I had "gel printed"!

Thank you, Patty.... you inspired a bunch of us!

(I did my gel printing on fabric that had a light script on it.)

And for my "grace" I either stitched it or used muslin I ran through my printer.


You should really try this...
it's so fun!


Here is another flag that is simple...

I do like making these....
I'm in another swap making them for the end of the year as well.
They can be any size really....
I made mine by putting the top piece
(that had an unattractive back due to paint or stitching)
onto a base muslin piece!

  4. These are just fabulous, Linda. Couldn't pick a favorite if I tried. I love the word "grace." It's what we aspire to -- I don't always succeed but it is a goal.
