so many beautiful textures and details, those tiny blue hearts!
beautiful old lace
a tiny heart bead in the point of the tail

an appliqued heart and the dream stitched immaculately on dotted net
I dream of a world
where love is the answer

It's Crow Time 
((Mo)) I’m so glad it arrived safely (and so soon !)
HAPPY to be part of the gathering : let LOVE heal the world !
(((Els))) you are a treasure!
This one is gorgeous too….it’s all starting to come together…..all this love from around the globe.
(((Eliene))) all the layers and details in Els’s dream of a pennant astound and remind me of one of the best artist statement’s ever
“sews poems into shadows, pillows, and street corners.”
written by Maria José Gonzalez Arredondo in the gallery catalogue for the Object Poems show (now sadly deleted) at 23 Sandy Gallery in 2011 when I bought Through an Object Poem by her husband Mark Owens
So many pathways around the pennant- tracing along stitched curves, or jumping heart to heart, or following the woven lines.
(((Dee))) Els is a true master or should I say mistress of cloth & colour, her stitches are divine!
Such beautiful trail of hearts!
every time I look I see more!
Oh Els!! xo
(((Nancy))) the joy & wonder of Love!
The detail here astounds me.
(((Michelle))) so much joy in every layer and stitch
The pace quickens, as this is the third pennant in a row to show up in my morning blog walk … and as I have before, I went to see the making … and added yet another Kindred Spirit to follow in the future.
There is so much to love on this one … and it is interesting to see how many of the pennants have blue in them. The intricate collaging of cloth and fine stitching are wondrous.
Love, love, love …
((((Liz))) the wonder of it all!
Truly a thing of beauty-so lovely to see all these exquisite pennants coming in……
(((René))) the many paths of Love !
MC – another wow moment of love. B
(((Barry))) thank you for visiting all the way from bonny Scotland!
So full of love………
(((Martine))) the magic & power of love in The Gathering is so strong & beautiful!
Els’ kind heart shines from this one- there are so many lovely heart paths to wander through!
(((Hazel))) Els brings so much love and light and joy into our beautiful broken world!
Love the added laces and such .. love radiates with every stitch
(((Tina))) Els has such a beautiful heart!
here’s a beautiful spiritwise comment from Marti in New Mexico who has been offline for a few weeks;
“Els’s exquisitely stitched trail of hearts, path-making and reminding us all that Love is large, Love is small, it is layered and sometimes, we need to dig through to find it but we do so, oftentimes easier when we walk together in hope and spirit.”
What a wonderful journey through a single pennant – so much goodness here Mo!
(((Fiona))) Els makes such good magic!
