http://www.clker.com/clipart-9349.html I think the angel idea is wonderful also. Do you have an embroidery machine? Embroidery Library has some beautiful angel designs. |
Sounds great...and I don't think the angel idea is tacky...look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Interesting...as I was reading about the deseased family member I was thinking and angel too. What a wonderful quilt that will be when it's finished.
|
My sister had her "angel" tattoed on her breast. I think the angel is a wonderful symbol. As for the dancing - how about a pinwheel block?
|
Oh wouldn't a mini 5" dresden kaleidoscope block look wonderful for dancing??!!! Too bad you can't make just one. LOL. I glanced up at those in the sample boxes just above this window and thought boy, those look dancy. Especially that last one. I do love the clip art idea, just not sure my skills are up to that level of applique. I tried to find a more basic one but no luck so far.

If anyone in your family is artistic, have them draw a simple outline on some paperbacked fusible and you will have an original block. Maybe do the same way with the angel.
Would love to see a picture when it's finished. |
I like JudyG's clipart idea.I Think your ideas are wonderful.

Any suggestions anyone??? I thought up and created a Happy Home block and a Coffee Break block, so I need two more. Another question. They have lost one daughter to illness. I have two thoughts on how to represent this. One is to have an angel square. The other is to have the word "FAMILY" quilted on a square, and to have the outline of an angel represent the letter L. Would that be ok do you think? Or would it be tacky to include it? I helped my friend build a memorial garden for her deceased daughter and she has many angels in the garden. |
