Quilting Arts magazine

Have you seen the new issue of Quilting Arts magazine?

I usually get my copy digitally so I was thrilled to receive this hard copy in the mail this morning.

Jane LaFazio has written a wonderful piece on prayer flags and about what we do here on this blog.

Hopefully, seeing this will inspire more to get involved.

Thank you to Jane, and of course Vivika

Never Forget

Today Julie Hernandez shares her flags with us.

" I am an artist and art teacher in North Texas. My students and I are starting off the New Year by making prayer flags. First, I wanted to send this one I just finished.  It is a prayer flag for Sandy Hook Elementary, which is still deeply on my heart.  The decorative skulls reference the Dia de los Muertos tradition of remembering and celebrating the lives of those who have passed.  And the way they are cropped and positioned created a perfect area of negative space for the names of the 26 victims to fit.  This flag is a tribute to them, and a prayer for their friends and family left behind.  In fact, it is a prayer for all of us."
