photos from the OMA exhibit

Ileen here...for those of you that sent prayer flags to the Oceanside Museum of Art, here are a few photos of the reception and opening of the Prayer Flag Project and Quilt National. 

roots and wings: the balance life

Ileen here, back to making  prayer flags, after various other projects.  This one is a prayer for the balance of life--the need to soar  and fly with the need of being grounded or rooted. 

prayer flag for Health

Ileen here, I was inspired by Jamie Fingal and her quilt prayer flags. so I dug around in my hoard of fabrics and found this piece of 1" blocks I had done years ago. I added the sunflower and embroidered the word "health".  Sending prayers for many health issues these days.

Ileen Miller: Three More Flags

Three more flags have been made by fiber artist Ileen Miller, adding to her flag for fathers a few weeks ago.  Ileen is making a flag a week and posting to our flickr group when they are complete- as she said in an email earlier this week, "I, too, believe in the power of prayer and putting things out into the universe".

Pray on, Ileen-

 

Ileen Miller: A Blessing for Fathers

Ileen Miller posted her first flag last week... doesn't it look lovely hanging in the garden.  So many of the photos I've taken have that same feel... prayers hang on a thread, above the flowers, waiting to join others in the wind...

In her own words:

"A flag made for Father's day--a prayer/blessing for Father's, especially the Parker father's in my life".
