Joy'zown Dezign

Each quilt has a message or a story I have to tell. Design grows in my mind in the form of an internalised quilt pattern that I love passionately. Fuelled with my desire to inspire others with the message, it goes to paper or it just evolves as I go along. Eventually, it is laboured on in material format, as I meditate on the message for months … waiting for Doctors, flute lessons, cricket etc. Occasionally I luxuriously sew in the evenings, listening to our classical music – bliss!

Nativity Sewing

I am using the bean bag method for making these little characters. I just gather up circles. for the body, add a tubed strip for the arms and then add hair and faces, wings and halo's for angels- very easy - only fiddly and it takes a lot of time. I like the fact that with the soft material, I can mould them into characters with poise and movement! I don't think I will finish all I want to do this year. The baby Jesus at the end of this post was made years ago, so this is an ongoing act of love for my children. I feel very passionately about having nativity scenes that the children can play with and enjoy 'acting out' the Christmas story with.
