Draw Near Delivers

by Great Joy Studio | Jun 7, 2014 | Art News, Quilting & Fabric

Second in the Handmaids® series is “Draw Near.” Still creative multitaskers with an emphasis on stitchery and dress making, in this collection the focus swings toward everyone’s childhood past time, coloring. No matter who you are, at one time or another, when you were very small, someone most likely stuck a crayon in your hand and you began to draw.

I did . . . and am still at it.

So, those were the memories that triggered the imagery for this line that I started at least a year ago and conceived of, long, long before that. A favorite verse found in the forth chapter of the book of James, was the inspiration. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. The fabric delivery, is a good & needed, reminder for me.

So, vintage crayons, paint tins and turn of the century patterns are all a part of this art group which translated beautifully into fabric by Quilting Treasures. Hope you like it.

Available in quilt shops now.

Fabulous projects!

I was not able to personally acknowledge every participant’s email however, please accept my sincere thank you to all of you. Your attention to these challenge projects have been over the top, truly. I was overwhelmed by your creative talents & sewing skills. It sounds like you enjoyed working on them as much (if that’s possible) as I have seeing them.

We agreed to go beyond the thirty limit originally stated, not wanting to turn anyone down, and sent out 40 sets of fat quarters. We received twenty two participant’s entries from those. I am pleased to announce the results of the random drawing from those twenty two. A framed She Who Sews print & panel goes (as they appear in comments) to:

1 – Marilyn Griffin, 2 – Genie Betts & 3- Cheri Holt

& for our kind comments giveaway, She Who Sews panels go to:

1 – Lyn Kaufmann, 2 – Debra Kay Neiman & 3 – Rosemarazzle
