Prayer Flag - Peace

A few weeks ago I met Vivika DeNegre on the Madison Green during an arts festival. She inspired me to join the Prayer Flag Project (http://prayerflagproject.blogspot.com) and today I completed my first Prayer Flag.

My prayer is for peace in the world and in smaller communities of friends and family. Peace among people is a great gift and one we can share with each other.

This small quilt is made from recycled linen scraps with embellishments of embroidery, lace, buttons and beads. The dove is made from batik fabric. The lace, beads and buttons hand-stitched. The dove and olive branch are fused and then top-stitched by hand with thread.
