What is Your Superpower? Here is Mine!

My Superpower?
It is the one thing that has driven me every step of the way through my entire life.
What is it?
Creativity!


I firmly believe all children are born with it. Some of us have it "educated" out of us. (You know, "color INSIDE the lines!") For those of us who managed to hold onto it, this world is full of amazing possibilities! Don't get me wrong, though. We need those of you who think inside the box, too! Without you, things would probably be in chaos!


As you can see, I used a lot of embroidery along with my applique. I always do. To me, they go hand in hand. The embroidery can be used to add so many details!

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to visit the other sites on the hop:

My thanks to Mdm. Samm and Pauline from Quilt N' Queen for hosting this hop! Their superpowers have made this possible!

    I love your wallhanging! That is so gorgeous! I used to not like applique and embroidery but I am finding that it is so relaxing to sit with a needle and thread in my hand. if I could just get my eyes to behave. :)

    What a stunning quilt Linda. Gorgeous work. I'm reminded of a quote I read the other day....
    A curious person asks why, but a creative person asks 'why not' . Something like that anyway : )

    You are definitely creative and love your wall hanging. I think I was a colour within the lines child (even though parents were creative) due to my own choices. As I get older I am going outside the lines more and thoroughly enjoying it!

    I love your piece and the saying. I remember those days, especially in penmanship. I used a Y then and I liked to extend it down to the bottom of the page when I signed my name and I was chastised for it, lol.

    Wow.....wow Linda! I'm just crazy about your piece! The design and execution are excellent! I looked at it on my iPad so I could really zoom in. Besides all the obvious beautiful bits, the gray shadow stitching of the leaves is wonderful too. Your attention to detail is awesome! When I grow up, I want to do that too :)

    Totally beautiful; an outstanding project to highlight your superpower. The embroidery definitely does add lots of detail; it sure moved your quilt UP several notches!! How did you get the lettering to stand out so well? Did you use special thread? I'd love to know.
