Christmas Day, 2021

Merry and Happy Christmas to all this day!  Today's post's photo shows a few of my own 'art quilt artist' creations "of the season."  While I am neither Catholic nor Orthodox, I have loved icons for many years.  Fifteen years ago I took an icon painting ["writing"] class and this was the result.  Eastern icons display a totally different perspective, so what looks off-kilter was meant to be.  

The Christmas stockings are pieced and quilted in a variety of fabric designs - holiday seasonal as well as non-holiday seasons.

My workroom is piled high with donation blankets and quilts that are ready to be dispersed this coming week.  My dream goal is to use every bit of my fabric stash before I have to "retire" from sewing and quilting altogether.  Hopefully, I have at least one more decade for creating items that might be of use to others who don't have the means to create them for themselves.

I hope everyone reading this post is safe and warm and healthy and will remain that way into the indefinite future.

Merry Christmas!
