Snapshot of "Jubilation"

"Jubilation" was part of the Festival of Awareness exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in October 2015.  This photo is a section of the quilt.  "Jubilation" will travel with the exhibit for a year.  I hand dyed the fabric and free motion quilted it.  Then I painted, sewed, and beaded the flowers.  "Jubilation" was created in celebration of my father's life.  All the flowers in and around our home came from the forests and fields.

  I like January 1st! It is an opportunity to start over.  I planned to do so many things today but fate interfered.  Loud fireworks till 2pm.  Beautiful show!  Someone ran off the road into my ditch at 3pm - so no sleep.  Fortunately no one was injured.  But I did do one thing I wanted.  I watched the birds and walked about the yard - enjoying God's brilliant flowers! The Azaleas and Roses are blooming! It was so peaceful!  I reread this poem that I found in 2017.

 It is very cold today!  I would love to be on a warm beach somewhere.  I will have to just view "Sand Dollar".  I collected it a long time ago.  It is mounted in a mass of silk and other fibers and beaded.   Good memories!

January is a time to start over - evaluate the past - choose what to keep and what to delete or change.  Someone on Facebook said that one should cut negative people and activities out of your life - but do not use your fabric scissors.  I wish I had documented the author.  I plan to delete some negative activities and add some that are pleasant. I started this year with an exhibit at the Denham Springs/Walker Library.  If you get an opportunity, go by and see it.  The staff was very helpful in the installation.  It was a pleasant experience! "Wildfire" is on the front wall.  I hand dyed the fabric and made the embellishments.  It reminds me of a meadow on fire -animals running to safety.  We often run from adversity to a safe place.
