Celynn's Sunflower Patch (Celynn) You are here ;)
Sane and Crazy Quilting (Cathy L.)
Quiltsmiles (Jane E.)
Feathered Nest Studio(Jennet)On to my words...
The rules/guidelines for this hop were to use a word or words on fabric to describe ourselves and so let people get to know us better. My inspiration came from seeing prayer flags on pinterest,you can read about the project here
The first flag I made is the one on the left,with the word Believe,on the right is the second with the words Marine Mom,Here,and the square reads,Home is where the Heart is. These two go hand in hand,which anyone who has a loved one in the Military knows all to well. Especially when your loved one is deployed!
The third and fourth flags... "Life has no Blessing like a Good Friend" although I have not had many,because I have always been a little shy (which you would probably not guess if you just read my blog and have not met me in person) the ones I have are a True Blessing :) I used a few scraps to make the pinwheel center piece and hand wrote words that have to do with sewing.
Five,is made with buttons on scrap banners,another piece of scrap fabric that was attached with heat-n-bond,and fabric pens provided the color for flowers. Six is yet another scrap with an antique sewing machine on it and the word quilter written in painters pen.
Seven,says Remember September-911 ~ Eight is in Remembrance of Sandy Hook
(These two speak for themselves)
Nine,is my favorite saying,since I am a the glass is half full girl and always try to keep a positive attitude :) So there you have my words,which may or may not tell you something(s) you did not already know about me!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the Hop ;)

ReplyDeleteI really like your sunflower header, they are one of my favourite flowers as they are so cheerful. I only came across prayer flags last year on an american blog so they are quite new to me, we just don't have them in England. They are fun though and it also great to do a quick project. Thanks for sharing.
