Your scrappy block with the lady of Guadalupe in the center is amazing. Love how the fabrics look like rays radiating away from her. Jackie's silk quilt turned out quite gorgeous too! I still haven't cut into my silks yet. Might have to get some more colors.Terriawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420615575308397326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-89361073138666368052011-01-24T09:15:51.650-05:002011-01-24T09:15:51.650-05:00Victoria, your Lady of Guadalupe is amazing!

I love doing that pattern with silk too ... but whenever I can mix a bit of batik with it. The contrast of the flat cotton really makes the silk sparkle. Here are <a href="http://jovitaspatchwork.blogspot.com/2008/08/busy-sewing-samples-for-you.html" rel="nofollow">two quilts</a> where I just used batik in the border and had them "merge" a little bit.

You can tell the difference between her and the Virgin Mary by style, colors,skin tone and ethnicity. The Mexican nation gives great reverence to their Lady of Guadalupe,and to them she is very different from our Virgin Mary.She is their patron Saint, and theirs alone. Their Lady appeared to a peasant farmer of Mexico and many miracles have been attributed to her intercession. The Catholic Virgin Mary is Caucasian and typically dressed in simple robes of blue and white. The Mexican Mary is Mexican and wears the bright traditional clothing of early Mexico. They are both Mary but the names are icon specific. All icon name corrections aside ;)...you did a lovely job with her and her surrounding piecing!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-61502646655726206412011-01-23T20:36:49.043-05:002011-01-23T20:36:49.043-05:00the halo and all of your Mary is breathtaking!!! ...the halo and all of your Mary is breathtaking!!!
