Two altar cloths mailed out this week... 

The Corvid

I love to create, so it gives me great joy to share my hand stitched gifts with others!

Angel wings

I love freemotion stitching to embellish, enhance, quilt, machine embroider, and embed energy into the altar cloths I sell in my etsy store.

Archangel Michael sold straight away.

He is rather striking!

A sale here and there, funds my sewing addiction! Thank you!

 

Some finished pieces

Tula Pink's select sampler from her book "100 Modern Quilt Blocks" has been completed. Binding is on. 

Combining Devonstone and Tula Pink, it was a delight to create and to complete.

Can you see on my sewing machine a Tula jelly roll, more solids, and a very special Tula print?

And here are some altar cloths that have been mailed out so far this month.

It's been a busy time, finally, people have time to buy for themselves!

That lion and moths, oh my heart!

Magical forest tree!

What a great altar cloth!

Special unicorn piece...

These are all sold from my etsy store

Rainbow cat altar cloth

Oh wow, this rainbow cat turned out to be so beautiful. I had an absolute blast stitching this one.

Playing with fabric

Yes, I have piles of Tula Pink fabrics. Right here I have pulled a Monkey Wrench ten inch square pack, and a True Colours jelly roll.

I am not seeing that these will make an effective quilt. I was hoping to use the Monkey Wrench squares as entire pieces, but after opening them I see that's not really going to work. The strips will lose their interest and contrast if mixed in here as well.

So I am looking through bags and bags of Tula Pink stash fabrics.

Maybe a bit of this, maybe a bit of that. Nothing is jumping out, no decisions yet.

So I will work on an altar cloth instead. This is the Hallowitch of pumpkins.

This one is sold, but there is one more available in my Etsy store.

Goddess Kali small quilt

Oh, this is my goddess Kali altar cloth set up. 

It took me a lot of energy to hold space for the creation of this altar cloth, particularly as I made another one at the same time for someone else, and she wasn't energetically ready for hers yet.

I love creating sacred spaces of intention. Here I am, connection to the ancestors position.... high vibe, my key.

Hello Goddess Kali. The Destroyer. 

Taking away the old path, so that we must take a new one.

 

Raven Goddess

This is one of my favourite images - a raven goddess altar cloth.

I have used freehand quilting/embroidery to embellish it, then painted with sparkly fabric paint to add dimension and zing.

You can find my available altar cloths in my etsy store.

 

Three new altar cloths

I had another fiercely busy week and finished three new altar cloths.

This fellow is very steampunk. I think he's a kind of British dog. The mechanical beetles and bird are also symbolic.

Archangel Michael. No words necessary.

 Frankenstein and his bride. This one was snapped up by a friend who said it talked to her very deeply! She says it's her favourite one ever, and she has bought a few from me!

One altar cloth, three ways

Playing with this witchy altar cloth.. Lots of ways to set it up to make it speak in different ways.

You can use more crystals to create more of a crystal grid.

One altar cloth, three different ways!

Saturn Eye Pillow

This is a spectacular piece, I've just made another two. I think that's the last I have in this fabric. Maybe I can order it again in the future, we don't really know with overseas shipping still.

It takes a lot of energy to hold space or this sacred geometry while I stitch. This one has 7 colour changes, freemotion stitching and some with the walking foot.

In his own crafting, 5yo has made me a "Saturn" eye pillow. Hahahahhhaha.

It's bits of paper stapled together with fluffy stuffing inside. 

Thanks little man, I love it.

Altar cloths in my Etsy store

Now I can't remember whether I've shared these altar cloths for my archives.

Laser cut lettering stitched onto a pretty quilted background.

Wicked witch of the West with flying monkey (I've made a few of these).

Ganesha in a pretty light purple colour.

Earth Angel. Oh! Look at the way the world blooms!

Tree Spirit

Til Death Do Us Part

Money altar cloth

Dear lucky money cat, please bless us all. May our money make us more money.

I've placed this one in my feng shui money centre.

There might be another one of these altar cloths in my Etsy store. What would you put on your intentional space?

 

Gypsy Soul

Oh my giddy goodness me! I have already made 5 of these gypsy caravan cats.... and so grateful that more fabric arrived.

I desperately want to keep one of these for myself.

So many elements in here that I vibe with. Tea leaf reading, pendulum, crystal ball gazing, packets of seeds, cornucopia, sun and moon, changing of seasons, tarot cards... *happy sigh* 

If I have any left they are in my Esty store: Sew Intuitive by Rainey 

 

Altar cloths and a quilty dress

This is how I set out a sacred space: cleanse, set out intentions, read cards.... This is my most popular altar cloth in my Etsy store. 

I love this lion, moth and the fae altar cloth. Do you know someone who would love it?

This one is also for creating a crystal grid. With an intention of growth and transformation.

I wish you could see this angel in person, she is stunning. Twinkly, sparkly, gold, silver and blue...

Today I am wearing a dress made from a Tula Pink linework fabric. I am collecting these prints, but I couldn't resist wearing a dress made out of this one. 

 

Spirit Animal week

What a week of stitching I've had! The theme for the online market this week was magick....

The Raven  is stitched with green thread and painted with green sparkly fabric paint.

The owl looks like he is staring right through me. Spirit animals are very popular, as everyone identifies with the traits of one or more animals.

This particular one with a cat looking on sold straight away which really surprised me. Cats are so popular.

The Witch with her familiar is so twinkly in real life. I truly love this one. If only the fabric suppliers would open up again!

This one with cats and bats... I've stitched the words "Magickal Me" i nthe witch and given her a skirt.

And this last one is a nature witch, once again with her familiar or pet cat.

The tree of life altar cloth

And here is the finished Tree of Life piece. I shared the inside stitching in this post. 

It really can't be appreciated properly unless it's in person.

It's being used to cast runes upon. It divides into 4 distinct quarters easily, which makes it easier for the caster to read.

This was the last of this fabric, I can't get any more at the moment. I wonder if that will ever change when the shipping between countries comes back.

Altar cloths/table centres are listen in my Etsy store for sale.

 

Hidden stitches

I really wanted to show you the amount of stitching going into some of my altar cloths. 

This one is the Tree of Life. The front is entirely black and white, the stitching is in 7 chakra colours. It's a polyester front, so it requires a brand new embroidery needle or it creates ladders in the stitching.

I am learning in so many areas at the moment. There's my 12 Days of Christmas Birds on the wall behind me. It took 12 years to finish, why not hang it a little longer. 

Hahaha! I just realised that's the 12 years of Christmas. Bahahahahahaha. I find myself funny.

Practising new things, not stitching so much. Let's turn that around!! Now that school is on, it's time for me to create more time for myself.

 

Summer solstice and Ganesha

Ganesha: remover of obstacles. 

I fell in love with this fabric print immediately. I enjoyed every moment stitching, and then I thought "I will just list it at The Spiritual Co-Op Group (facebook) online market, to see if anyone likes it. Bam! Immediately sold. I wonder if I will be able to get more fabric like this. 

I do have an incredible amount of fabric, I've constantly re invested in stash, but it's been a strange time. Sometimes deliveries are open from overseas, and sometimes we've been cut off. There's been a lot of cutting off.

I am really glad that the Italian organic tomatoes and tomato paste are back in the shops. It's too hot and wet to grow here at the moment, so I choose the best flavours I can. My end goal is to buy as much organic as I can.

 

I've dressed up this altar cloth to photograph it.

I love stitching in the tree shadows in the background, then painting glowing gold and green sparkles on the top.

Each altar cloth is backed in 100% quilting cotton. In a variety of prints, mostly sympathetic with the design on the front, sometimes contrast in colour, but same theme.
