Those who have known me a long time know I have a love for the Virgin Mary. I've explored a lot of ideas to interpret Her in cloth. Along with my friend Barbara we formed
The Madonna Idea, a blog devoted to our various projects. It looks like the last entry was in 2010 but I know there have been a few more sewn past that time.
In 2014 I started some small Madonna wall hangings. When I closed my old studio and moved into my current studio they were packed away. When I recently unpacked them during my studio organization, I decided it was time to finish them. They will be offered for sale at the upcoming art markets.
The 1st one is this lovely Madonna piece. I pulled this image off the previous background and put it on a new patchwork background. This background is a reclaimed pillow sham. I like to buy these pieces at the thrift store because they finish nicely into table runners or table toppers. This one will be a good background for the wall hanging. I would never take the time to piece a Trip Around the World patchwork piece but I am eager to use this piece!
I guarantee this has possibilities! It looks a little shabby here. Give me time.
I'll show the progress here. So stop by again!
Have a Creative Day Y'All!
