Inlinkz isn't liking either Art & Cloth instagram or her blog post! I'm going to post it here to try to link up but be sure to check out her actual posts - 


Phoenix Rising

 Phoenix Rising 

PQ 16.1 Mythical Creature


This week’s theme is Mythical Creature. 


I chose to create a Phoenix. 

 

My quilt is 7”x5”.  #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason16




This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme.  Prizes will be given out by random drawing.  Each week is a different theme.  Here is a link to this season 16: https://kimlapacek.com/project-quilting-season-16


I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 7”x5” this year so I’ll have a set of postcards when I’m done.  For the label, I’m writing on the back with a fabric marker.

 Had this panel by Sarah Young from England. 



Did some light Sashiko quilting and embellished quilting.
Meryl did have an accident in her youth, hence her unique fin tail. 
Merci beaucoup,

Krasnoludek by Carolyn R

 My daughter and I have been reading about our Polish heritage. My mythical creature is a gnome, a krasnoludek in Polish, using her handprint and various felts and flannel fabrics.

Lenape legend of the Rainbow Crow

 I’m in Burnsville, NC where Hurricane Helene wreaked amazing havoc.  I had thought I’d try creating a Phoenix rising from the waters but then read about Manaka’has, the Rainbow Crow of Lenape legend.  He brought fire to the earth from the Great Spirit but in doing so lost his beautiful voice and plumage.  

Finished the binding at midnight…not perfect, but done!

Mythical Creature by Deb A

My first submission to the Project Quilting Challenge--this unicorn is a combination of piecing, applique, and hand embroidery, and is quilted and faced, approximately 12 inches square. I learned recently that in some cultures the unicorn is a symbol of wisdom, integrity, and strong spirit. 


In addition, the extremely durable horn represents immortality. I'm approaching involvement in this challenge as a learning experience, stretching my creativity and strengthening my skills under just a touch of pressure, with only a week to complete each challenge. Looking forward to it!
