Aloha

Sonia Hagemann has sent this flag

"My latest prayer flag is Aloha and that one was sent to Boston last week.

The word Aloha has many, many definitions with love perhaps top of the list."

 Michelle Bilyeu shares these flags for Boston

"When I first discovered that the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild was asking for prayer flags for Boston, I thought to myself..in this order...I'm not a 'modern' quilter...(I like to see myself as improvisational,or liberated, not 'modern';)..... I've already made a Boston prayer flag (and shared it)....I don't have one single moment of extra time and..... how can I keep doing what I do.... and survive my busy life....and then......as I always, always do..

.....ok, so why can't I make a prayer flag for Boston????

So, I did!"

Flags for Boston

Today we are joined by Shari.   

"I took a day off from my usual painting to make some prayer flags to send love, peace, and healing to all those involved in the recent Boston bombings.  All I could use was my supplies that I already had (I don't have a car) so I had to use what was on hand.  I sewed, stamped and embroidered 12 flags, measuring about 9 x 11.  Using hemp twine to hang them on my porch, I sent hope and love into the wind to travel all over the world.  

I have family and friends in Boston, so it really makes my heart ache to see it all on TV.  Maybe my little effort will ease someone else's pain.

Thank you for letting me share this with you."
