September Show and Tell

This photo of a quilt was our inspiration for our September project.
 
 
Mary made "Resist" in reaction to immigrant children being separated from their families.
 
 
This is a close up of the paper pieced fist.

  

The phrases hand embroidered around the outside of the fist are ideals Mary believes in.
 
 



The other sayings on the wall quilt.
