A Collection

Today we hear from Susi Costello.

"I made my prayer flag as part of Carly Marie's healing project to help break the silence surrounding child death. My flag has embroidered panels for love, light, and truth as well as one with my daughter Tigerlily's name and the day she was born/died. It was both incredibly difficult and wonderfully purposeful to make these in honor of my daughter."

Devotion, Peace, Trust, Truth, Sing!

Cyndy from Willamina, OR, made these prayer flags with her women's church group for the residents in a local care center.

Speak Your Truth

Rebecca Ivcic join us, and writes "For several years now I have had this mantra "Speak Your Truth"  I'm not even sure I know what it means; i think the meaning to me changes over time."

Linda Miller: Trust

This lovely flag was made by Linda Miller.  I love how it is hanging among the fig leaves in her garden.  May we all trust ourselves...  

Here is the description in Linda's own words:


Trust is for all of us to connect with what is good in our lives, and to remember that goodness is always available within us.  For a start, I send this out to my nephew going to his college orientation.  May he trust himself enough to maintain a sense of openness moving out into the world.


To make the flag, I used some raw silk from my stash that I had covered with leaf rubbings several years ago.  To that I appliqued, painted, and embroidered further on the flag.


It is a pleasure tocontribute to another flag project in a new format, and to widen the creative circle.
