Ab Intra by Judy V

 I love Marcia Derse fabric for both her color and use of line. I also have wanted to make a pattern like this for some time and it all came together for this quilt. 


I tried to use some of the arcs in my quilting. 42x52.

Meaningful by Carolyn

 For this challenge, I used fabric that I purchased right after I found out I was pregnant at 39 1/2 years old; I always wanted to be a mom. Each fabric has a special meaning to me.



Owls - represent The Who, Pearl Jam, and music
Apples - for gardening and making healthful food choices
Moon - for my connection to the moon cycles and something greater than us
Feathers - my whimsical, creative spirit 
Library Card - my love of learning, reading, and frequenting the local library
Brooch - belonged to my grandmother - we named our daughter after her

Thank you again for organizing all these challenges,
Carolyn

My Gift by Liz M

 PQ12.6 AB INTRA - From Within

My Gift - A Journal Cover
Liz Mandelkow
Buhl Idaho

I enjoy gifting the things I create. My friend so enjoyed a journal cover that I made for the previous challenge that I decided I needed to make another.

I made this with leftover fabric scraps vintage linens that I found at a thrift store.
This is the front of the journal.


This is the back.


This is the inside flaps and the notebook that I put inside.

This makes me happy. From my hands and heart, a gift for a dear friend.

Mountain by Robyn Wimmer

That's me, rising above the mountain of family treasures and junk we dumped after closing on our Fargo condo last fall just before driving to Madison for the winter. There’s a lot to go through but I know I can and will do it, beginning this week. I believe my 'inner self' is someone who makes a plan and carries it out. I get things done. 


This last challenge is a combination of appliqué, quilting and simple hand embroidery; I even remembered to make the hanging sleeve!

SPOILER ALERT: my hair isn't really dark brown but I didn't think silver would work here.

Kids Craft Kits

Ab Intra by Lisa R

 This week's challenge was a gift.  I pondered, looked at fabrics I've been moved to purchase lately without a specific project in mind, thought about my pre-retirement and post-retirement time, and considered the gifts of #covidtime for #covidcreations.  Somehow, it turned in to this project, for which I am now grateful. 


I still am represented by the black/white/red side as my linear/sequential, mathematical, organized efficient, focused, boxed in, enneagram 1 self. 

However, by reconnecting with my full self through nature, family, growth, music, personal reflection, journaling and sewing, I am also represented by the colorful open-ended side.  I also was able to realize the important role sewing has played throughout my life - represented by the bubblish pieces from my wedding dress, daughter's first birthday outfit, son's nursery fabric, fabric used to sew for breast cancer patients, projects for the grandkids, a baby quilt for a former employee's new little one, costumes for High School musicals, and more.

Looking over the past couple years, a large part has been a journey to find balance.  I thought this Tree of life within yin/yang symbol captures that thought.

Mixed Messages by Sharon S

 This is my first challenge of the season but when it was announced I immediately knew that I wanted to participate.  A friend and I had just had a discussion about the messages that society gave us as we are of an age that our career choices were pretty limited to housewife, secretary, teacher and nurse.  We were never really exposed to options so that we might have had bigger dreams. So for me the making of a messenger bag was a great symbol for this.


And during the construction as I thought more about the “messages” concept I started to find examples from within me of deep concerns about the mixed messages that we have been receiving from political and religious leaders that are tending to create divisions within family, friendship groups, communities and between various other groups of people.

A Slice of Lime by Kerstin Z

 A slice of lime

 From inside - while cutting cucumber for a salad I got the idea: the profile of some fruit or vegetable. The fruit I liked most was a lime - also because I had the right scraps of fabric.



Now with a size of 11x11 inch it is more a mat than a coaster and definitely too big for a pot holder - which was my original intention for a useable result.
