Each heart on my hand quilted wall hanging represents one of my children, grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Each heart is lovingly handstitched and lightly filled with soft batting to give it a three dimentional look and the fullness is the love I feel in my heart for each person represented in this handmade quilt/wall hanging. It is indeed a 'work of heart'. The fabrics are those I have saved through the years and some were pieces I cut from a few of my grandmother's aprons. My grandmother wore a clean, lovely apron each day . I remember my grandmother with so much love and she is represented in each heart. Handquilted with love. (36" X 40") A great grandson on the way so another heart will have a name in April 2007!New great grandson, Elliot Gordon has a place on Grandma's quilt. Two more great grandbabies are due in the fall. Two more hearts will have new names. Thanks for stopping by!

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
