Strings and letters

What's a quilt without a good bag? This is the personalized bag I made for the liturgical stole below. The stole is made from my huge collection of reds -- I cut strips from every one and string-pieced onto a fabric foundation.
The back is two marbled fabrics, and I quilted from the front in the white stripe
as well as in the black cross. The new owner, a United Church of Canada minister, is thrilled because red is her favourite colour.

your bag for the stole reminds me of a small piece a friend did just before Lent started this year -- an Alleluia to bury...

I've done little with words and letters, but am fascinated to see all the possibilities....

by the way, you came across as no-reply when you commented on my blog. (If you want to change that it's in your profile). no, the package hasnt' arrived yet, but that isn't a surprise. mail takes a loooong time to get here. still looking forward to it tho!
