| I was given this lovely banner set to create a set of flags for the Blog Hop! A little back story about my experience with prayer flags. I've been making them flags for a little over two years, first as a way to begin healing after my dad died suddenly, then my mom who followed four months later. Prayer Flags have given me a way to express myself in a small form, that has paved the way for other work over the years. I have made prayer flags for friends who were having surgery, wedding flags, positive affirmation flags, happy flags, and some flags that hang in my back yard. Most of my flags hang in my art studio. |

| Quilting Arts Prayer Flags eBook which is so beautiful. It is total eye candy, and wonderful words to describe their inspiration |
 |
| I am honored to be part of the Prayer Flag Blog Hop to promote Quilting Arts new eBook. The info is here about how you can purchase the eBook and this set of flags that you can button together! or you can just buy the eBook separately, here |
 |
| Of course, I wanted to use the fabric from my line, because it's bright and fun! And it has words, and I ended up cutting up the words, and made my own with the letters |
 |
| Here they are all in a row on the wall. This version, the flags are attached with buttons. Very classic. You can click on the photo to see them larger |
 |
| Here is so you can see them up close. Hope and Love |
