Graceful Yellow

by Suzann Thompson | May 13, 2021 | Art Quilt, Celebrate Doilies, Crochet, Quilting and Crafting, TextileFusion

by Suzann Thompson | Aug 6, 2018 | Crochet, Doily Adventure, Life, Retro Blog Post

I was never very fond of this bedtime prayer, wher I was never very fond of this bedtime prayer, where children had to think about the possibility of dying in their sleep. But I have to admit this filet crocheted version of the prayer with pictures of children was Impressive. You can find the pattern for sale at vintageknitcrochet.net – swipe to see.

Political Circus, by Misty M. Cole, was part of 50 Political Circus, by Misty M. Cole, was part of 50 Years of Great Quilts at @quiltfestival last week. It’s a delightful riff on Eveline Foland’s Giddap the Very Democratic Donkey  and Ararat the Elephant designs from the 1930s. They’re oh so familiar to me, bc I made them a few years ago. It was great to see this fun new interpretation of fun old designs. Swipe to see more.
