Introducing Whispers From My Angels #6

Updated: Nov 10, 2021


I float through life knowing that my personal better angels are looking after me. They make me show up and be my best self. That is what inspired this series of 8 quilts I named Whispers From My Angels.

Whispers From My Angels #6 word detail

Whispers From My Angels #6 is a small quilt that measures only 30x 30 inches. The “angel words” say “No matter what, choose to bloom.” What a great reminder that life is about choices.

The center of the quilt is a panel with the words surrounded by somewhat muted flowers and butterflies. The name of the panel fabric is “Sing Your Song.” I framed the panel in two different gray prints. A mostly red pieced border adds interest to the composition of the quilt, and a red Kaffe Fassett fabric in the final border brings it all together and adds boldness to the subtle panel in the middle.

Whispers From My Angels #6 embellishment detail

I hand quilted Whispers From My Angels #6. I mostly used echo stitching in the center of the quilt but followed a stencil quilt pattern in the red borders. The binding is a green and teal stripe fabric. I think the green striped border helps to maintain the happiness of the quilt.


Whispers From My Angels #6 signature and charm detail

I embellished the quilt with the word angel in black sequins and added an angel charm near my signature. The charm is engraved with the words “Angels watching over me”. I brought the subtle flowers to life by adding buttons and crystals to catch the light.


Back of Whispers From My Angels #6

Of course there is angel fabric on the back to carry out the theme of the quilt. There is a hanging sleeve for easy display and a label that documents the quilt.


I signed it on the front. This quilt is one of a kind.
