This is the assignment for Jude's Sun Moon Stars class. I was glad to have a little break between classes so that I could spend more time with this one. It grew to be about 18x28. The largest I've attempted so far. I started with the reverse applique of the sun in the middle. When I traveled to NY in May to help my kids I took this little scrap in my pocket. The cloth grew slowly around that scrap. A cosmic looking printed cotton on the right and midnight blue linen on the left. I decided to use some of the dyed fabrics from our clothmates so I have a Glennis velvet moon and used a piece of Arlee eco dyed cloth for the moon on the right side. I used the paper piecing method Jude taught us on the border. ..very calming.
Here are a few close ups.
It was odd to me that as I added the stitches and beads for the flow of energy coming from the earth I stitched up to the sun. I felt that it was important though I'm not really sure of the story here. I do believe that our positive thoughts have power. They go out into the Universe and make great winds in space...he he... fun!
