March Journal Quilt
After the terrible night we had at the hospital, I decided I wanted a guardian angel for my journal page. I cut her out of one of my hand dye scrap rags, a single shape, fused on to a dark Batik background fabric surrounded with Angelina Fibers. I sprinkled a little of the Bo Nash under the fibers to help fuse them to the fabric, & layed a piece of parchment on top to iron it for just a few seconds. The Bo Nash disappeared & the fibers fused fairly well. I freemotion quilted with Sulky Holoshimmer, & aside from her rather sad expression I'm fairly satisfied with her.

Hope you are having a better day. I think the angel is beautiful - wonderful use of the angelina fibers.
Gorgeous guardian angel. The angelina fibers look so good. Can't wait till my workshop on using the fibers next weekend.
I'm sorry about your terrible day. I hope the thought of your angel comforts you as you face the tragedies of your profession. She is very beautiful!
I think her grim expression is dismay over the senseless deaths she had to watch with you. Such pain. It makes me sad too. Hang in there with strength.
I really like it. I think it is super cool. I say the best art comes from pain. loves xom
simply beautiful! art is most often like a mirror that reveals what is inside. I hope creating her brought you a moment of peace after all you faced at work.
She is beautiful, and hopefully, she has helped you deal with some of your sadness.
Very nice Guardian angel. I hope she helps you to recover from your stressful night. Sounds like it was a nightmare!!
So sorry to hear about your sad times. As a caring person, you are bound to feel for the misfortune and senseless tragedy you so often see. Your guardian angel is truly lovely, and I hope you found some comfort in making her. Jen
I'm sorry you had to see/experience such tragedies, but that angel is lovely and amazing.
Wow! What an ordeal and your angel is a great reminder of God's grace.
