Hugs-n-Kisses Lutradur Quilt

i am sewing each 5x5 word quiltie into a larger XsOx (hugs-n-kisses) quilt. the O's blocks are all similar with dryer sheet painted/chalked flowers which have brad center and stems of ribbon. I've incorporated charms into the seams to make it look more tictactoe-ishy. this is really turning out to be a great challenge for me thanks to leilani. closeup of Hug-n-Kisses dryer sheet flower

oh i just love how my lutradur quilt is turning out. used many different techniques and products sitting on my shelf. the challenge was so inspiring and really worked my creativity. thank you leilani for the challenge to express myself in word.

Hanging On By A Thread

Hanging On By A Thread

is the title

the one word challenge: SORROW

it reminded me of the sound waves on the monitor of our last breath.

i used the words "blah, blah, blah" for chatter and then "flat line" for the final voice we make before passing into the Heavenlies.

For my 5x5 challenge i am trying to go abstract creating the movement of voice waves. i love watching them on the computer screen. i'm practicing my decorative stitches on my sewing machine. my background is lutradur, using caran d'arche crayons, and thread. this is a fun, challenging exercise.
