After doing a couple of other quilts, I discovered that I had started a series of I AM quilts. This one is based on John 10:7, “I tell you the truth: I am the gate for the sheep.” The area beyond the gate represents our heavenly home. Since the challenge needed some orange, I chose to put it in the sun and its rays. I ran across a piece of fabric which I had painted a couple of years previously, with blue and orange and some salt effects, so I used that as far as it would go in the sky. Techniques used are machine piecing, machine raw-edge appliqué, thread painting, machine quilting. https://www.thecraftstar.com/product_details/27719/quilted-wall-hanging-i-am-the-gate/?frompage=5&fromshop=469 Hand Stamped Copper To-Do Magnet Hand stamped on copper, this cute To Do magnet is perfect for your fridge or any other magnetic work surface.
