Waving a Prayer Flag

Good Monday morning....Welcome to More Stars in Comanche !
 I am so pleased to be part of this hop...
 and, with the added bonus of Thearica and Madame Samm cheering all of us on.......
How much more fun could it GET ? 
Plus, I was one of the lucky recipients of a flag pole!
Mine was a  Star.......How perfect is that ! 
Thank you Flag-Outlet, because of your help, my flag is waving in the wind with style




I did a lot of thinking about what kind of flag I could make to represent who Vickie is..... 
let's see....it could have been a rooster for sure,
 or Corgi's, cattle, gardening, sewing, and stars would all fit, but not this time.
 Prayer came to mind.  
  I've been praying for someone whose been going through a tough time lately,
 I thought she could use a special little pick-me-up.
 As long as I can remember she's played the piano, sung in church and in cantata's.
 For many years I stood behind her watching her hands move across the keys of an old upright piano while words of God's love were embedded in my heart from the old time hymns she sang. 


This rose is from an old dresser scarf I embroidered when I was a kid....
A time when dresser scarfs were a must ! LOL
The single red rose just seemed like it needed to be there. 


I practiced free motion cursive writing with my sewing machine until I thought it looked pretty good !
 YES.... Writing with thread !..... You should try it ! .....It's fun !
 I wrote music scriptures from Psalms all over a quilt sandwich, then cut the heart out of it. The hearts are perfect because I sure do love this special lady and she's had a lot to do with shaping me into the person I am.  This flag is about her, but it's also about who I am.....because when God lays someone on my heart....I'm gonna pray for them ! 
There's several other people on my heart, they'll get a prayer flags too,
 then, when I'm finished with those......my flag pole will get a flag with a Star on it. 
Prayin and sewin....that's me ! 
Thank you for stopping by to have a look... Now please go visit the other ladies who are waving their flags with me today.
