My son came home excited from Tn. with panels of Eagle scene material that he had found on sale and had bought the whole thing It sat for over a year in my studio as I was wondering what to do with it. When you make quilts from scratch what do you do with panels. Just did not seem like much of a challenge. A lot of options went through my head and finally I made 3 throw pillows and this picture about 45x50". I simply put a border on it and stitched it on my super quilter.. did some fussy stitching edging the border with a fancy stitch with my Janome 6500.
Eagles are so impressive soaring with their huge wings above the storm clouds. I am reminded of the scripture in Isaiah 40:31, 'Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint'.
This will go into a 5th grade classroom in Tn. I boxed it up Monday and off it went. Now I still have 2 more panel and he wants a throw....our kids are always our kids no matter how old they are and mom can do anything!! (smile) What joy we find in doing for them.
