grow strong

this is another little doodle quiltie that i created using inspiration from one of my journals. i'm always looking for projects where i can combine lots of different things that i love to do, and these doodle quilties seem to fit the mold!


this quiltie is a little smaller than the others, but still has lots of hand-stitching, beading, hand-carved stamping, and i even snuck some of my painted dryer sheets into the leaf layers....
grow strong!

you can read more about this quiltie here in my etsy shop

    I love that you are taking your doodles and wonderful drawings to the next level! I think we are
    the leaves in blog land that help
    give others support, watching their
    talent develop.
    I like seeing your talent branch out~

  8. Oh Lori...these little quilties are so divine! This message of "Grow Strong" is just what I needed today. My roots have been feeling a little unstable lately. Hope you're well, old bloggy friend!:)

  10. Lori,
    Your "quilties" are charming. I have been teaching my girls how to embroider and you just inspired me to show them how to make something more out of their little panels.

    Thanks for inspiring others.

  18. hi lori,
    love these dryer sheet quilties!! and I love that you made one like your "Grow Strong Journal" ~ a perfect compliment to my journal - but I'm holding off as I need to save my pennies right now (daughter's wedding is fast approaching ~ June 5th). I hope you still have it available to purchase after I get all my bills paid....Please..Or maybe I could get you to make another if that one sells ~

    Hugs ~ Patricia

  22. Lori--you seem to have found the perfect way to incorporate all of your favorite things in one amazing art form with these wonderful little quilties. I'm still waiting for that to happen to me...and in the meantime I'll just keep playing since that's where this all began, right?

  25. I love it that you draw inspiration from your journals for your creations.
    We all need quotes like this one hanging around our house as reminders and then to use it creatively is even more wonderful.

    thank you for your sweet comment on my blog about my dear granddaughter Ella. Being with her on her B/D was so much fun!

  26. I've been saving my dryer sheets because of you.
    I love these little beauties. I went to an antique flea market today and picked up some wonderful goodies to makes some quiltie thingajigs. Now I need the time to create them.

    Always visit your shop, but get a wee bit sad, since you don't ship outside the US.
