I started the month of January with hip pain. It was so bad I couldn't hardly spend much time in my sewing room and use the stairs to get there!</p><p>I was on the waiting list for surgery for four months! But it was worth the wait. Dr. Adam Jellinek is the best in town and therefore the wait!!! Had surgery at end of May. And immediately started feeling better. Once I was healed from surgery all pain was gone!!! Thank the Good Lord!!!</p><p>So I was so happy to be healthy and functioning again, I do what I do best!! Start a new project...this time a thank you gift for my surgeon...He had told me that his favorite color is red...so, I chose this color palette!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They both were relaxed in our arms so we felt they would be great together. But I told them the foster moms needed to keep them one more week, while I took down the Christmas tree and decorations and Kitten-proof my house! I removed all crystal, toxic plants and more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Callie, adapted immediately and started exploring the whole top half of the house and mapping it all out. Stormy immediately found the only hole we didn't see....right behind the washer and dryer!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, Sandy got her out, and put up a board to block the space, but for at least a week I kept the cats pan in the hallway of the entrance way, because she would not go in the laundry room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now she is fine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But the first 3 days Stormy stayed under the recliner in our living room, or under the bed at night. But she had not yet walked down the hallway, I had been carrying her each time. About this time we realized she must be younger than Callie, so I text her foster mom, and she confirmed that Stormy was born around the first of October, while Callie was born around the end of August!!! So now we realized we needed to nurture her more as a baby!!! Callie has been a big help there...she has taught her to be less fearful, chasing each other down the hallway and back again. Now she owns the place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Both sleep on the bed at our feet. Then in early morning they come up to sleep at our pillows. We are so glad we got both of them and not just one!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ever since we moved up to Lewiston and started exploring our new adopted home town, we learned about the area called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palouse" target="_blank">Palouse</a>.

Prayers go out to all who have been severely affected either by the virus, or the shutdowns. Let's all pray for a Healthier and Happier New Year 2021!</span></b></span></span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span><span style="font-size: small;">I did finish my 2020 CQ Challenge from <a href="https://pintangle.com/2020-crazy-quilt-guidelines/" target="_blank">Sharon Boggon</a> before the end of the year. What a great feeling getting it done! I must say, I am pleased with the results. I can't tell you how many times I fretted over whether it would all turn out right!</span></span></b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span><span style="font-size: small;">Many of you might know my 2020 story! January 6th my primary doc found a lump in my left breast. We then did tests, first a sonogram, then a MRI, and then a 3D Mammogram, which doesn't compress the tissue like a regular one would. None of these confirm it was a cancer! So much for trusting imagery. Always push further. The radiologist gave me the option of waiting 6 months and check again. What a tragedy that would have been! So I insisted on a sonogram-assisted biopsy. That was a Friday, and the test came back on Tuesday, when I got the call from my primary doctor that it was in fact, cancer. He still has tears in his eyes remembering that call!</span></span></b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span><span style="font-size: small;">By Friday of that week, we met with the surgeon. She said that she could guess my reaction to chemo, by looking at my chart, and that I take no medications! I said immediately, it was off the table. Later, a MammaPrint test showed that the cancer was a slow growing type, that would not respond to chemo! Of course, she said we would have to talk about radiation, and I said that was also a hard sale.</span></span></b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span><span style="font-size: small;">Well, February 14th I had a double mastectomy, and went home the same day! I then concentrated on healing from surgery. By March 12 I was working on my trampoline, and walking outside. </span></span></b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span><span style="font-size: small;">Then the virus hit. Obviously, it closed down all treatments for everyone. It was a God Wink that I had gotten my surgery so fast.

Again, from the book mentioned before, "The last of the three acts in the starlit panorama on the stage of the universe presents Christ the judge of all the earth reigning in power and majesty and concluding the drama of salvation in the history of the planet Earth.

We see the same primary doctor.</span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;"><br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;">The doctor found a "suspicious" lump on my left breast, and sent me for a sonogram, knowing I don't do mammograms. Well, that didn't confirm anything, so then I had a MRI, and then had to have a 3-D mammogram, with still no confirmation. Finally, the radiologist did a sonogram-assisted biopsy, when came back on that following Monday as cancer. Notice, that all imaging could not confirm the cancer.<br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;"><br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;">I then had an appointment with the surgeon that following Friday, and scheduled for surgery the next Friday, the 14th of February.

The cancer was in my left breast only, but I had a double mastectomy, with only one node removed that had cancer. 10 others removed, with no cancer. It was Estrogen/Progesterone positive, but HER2 negative. Scans came back 3 weeks later with no signs of cancer and no metastasis. <br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;"><br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;">Also, the oncologist suggested a Mamma Print test done on tissue to see what my recurrence risk is. Well, it came back, very low risk of recurrence, not even a candidate for Chemo...which I had already refused! Now, while we wondered how many go through chemo without knowing their risk factor, the bill came back from Medicare, refused and past on to my secondary insurance...the bill was $8,000! So far, no notice from secondary.</span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;"><br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;">So, I feel VERY blessed to have come out of this scare with the rest of my health intact. I am not on any medications. I am now working with a Naturopath that my primary doc recommended and we are building my immunity and reducing inflammation...both critical in healing and preventing the cancer from coming back. Just because the test show no cancer, I am doing all I can as if I still have it. What treats, also prevents.</span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;"><br /></span></b></font></div><div style="margin-left: 120px; text-align: left;"><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #9c27b0;">So, it is now the beginning of June, I am all healed and getting life back.

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I call this piece, "Never Forget"...the fabric is printed with the firemen on it.</span></span></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I made this last year, but got interrupted by having to pack up my sewing room and moving to Lewiston, Idaho. Since it wasn't finished I packed it in the same plastic bin as the fabrics used.</span></span></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">When it came time to unpack, I couldn't find the piece with all my other finished and unfinished pieces in one big plastic container. Nor could I find pictures of the back, which I always do.</span></span></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I was terrified that somehow it had gotten stolen or lost for good. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find it one afternoon as I spent going through ALL of my fabric bins to get organized!</span></span></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">No small feat!</span></span></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Halloween is almost here!!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know that is hard to believe. We have only been in our house since August 1...but we are settled in with only a few things to do before winter sets in.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some of you have followed our journey from Pocatello to Lewiston over the last year. I will do a pictorial recap of getting my sewing room set up!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we bought this house in February, half of the basement was nothing but concrete walls as one whole room.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The back is also covered over a white board, and then put together and slip stitch together. Then I took the yarn and crocheted a chain stitch to whip stitch to cover the edges. It is so light weight and easy to hang anywhere! Thanks Ladies!</span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">AND WHAT A YEAR THIS HAS BEEN!!!</span></h2>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We have moved to Lewiston, and right now trying to get set up in our new house. It has been an exhausting year. With ups and downs.</span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">We arrived in October, got settled into the rental, but left most of what we owned in boxes. It was great to slow down from all the work of moving. By January, our little Sonny was showing signs of sickness. Vet said all three were showing signs of kidney disease, and changing their diet would help them manage it, maybe for years. Two weeks later, Sonny is back to the vet, not eating or doing well. This time, cancer had shown up in nodes. We put him on steroids to boost his appetite, and maybe shrink the cancer. It did work for a while, but we only got the six weeks extra with him. I was his 24 hour caregiver, and would have taken more if I could. He was my constant companion over 17 1/2 years and I miss him dearly.</span></span></span></h4>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Well, I am sure ready for a new year!!! I bet you are too!!!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">It has been a year of many changes for us. Took another trip to look at Prescott, Arizona in January. Again, felt it was not going to be the right place for us. Ten years of looking was getting old!!! Finally, Lewiston, Idaho seem to find us!! Saw it for the first time in May, then again in June...rented a house in August, began the packing process, sold our house in Pocatello in October, and settled in by the end of October!!! It's been great to have a rest period...but we are on the lookout for a new house to make that last move!!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">So let's do a progress check on the constellations and their decans. Each constellation has 3 decans that help tell the story, making 48 total ancient constellations. I have tried to use lots of embellishments and charms as symbolism of the story! </span></span></span><br />

I will be adding a new addition to my blogs...whenever we travel..I will talk about where we are going, have been, have met, and places to shop along the way.<br />
<br />
Some back story...we got rid of a 32' 5th wheel because it was just too big for us. And then we decided to sell our little camper to get another one in the mid size range. They both ended up to new buyers living on the same street not far from our house!!! The young family that bought our little camper are a wonderful Christian couple with a couple growing boys!<br />
<br />
Well, then we knew we needed to get the one we would be happy with...and Sandy found it not far from us, another wonderful Christian couple. They had bought a new toy hauler and needed to get rid of the Wildcat that we ended up buying!<br />

I call this quilt "Victorian Enchantment"!! I started it in 2007 with my first of four classes with <a href="http://www.judithbakermontano.com/" target="_blank">Judith Baker Montano</a>, called Basic Crazy Quilt! It took me a total of 5 years to complete, with working on other projects in between! It received recognition at the Idaho State Fair, 2017, and now 2nd place in Intermediate competition at our local <a href="http://www.pocatelloartctr.org/" target="_blank">Pocatello Art Center</a>! May is their competition for mixed media! My quilt was the only quilt in the room!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was our month to take a trip to Coeur D'Alene !! What a fabulous time we had!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since we were ahead of the tourist season, it was quiet and no crowds!!! But it was rainy and chilly. Still we enjoyed the beauty and SO many trees!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this was after visiting the Capital of Montana in Helena! It's actually faster to go up I15 to Missoula than to go up the whole state of Idaho. We went and stayed the night in Helena to see the capital, had our book stamped and then made our way over to Coeur D'Alene! Such beautiful country!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stay in CDA, for four days, so we got to see quite a bit. Made our way up to Sandpoint to see an old friend from our Ogden, Utah days! She was our hairdresser back then....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was truly fantastic to see you again, Christy!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a great time shopping at<a href="https://www.bearpawquilting.net/" target="_blank"> Bear Paw Quilting and Bernina </a>! Just a beautiful shop, with great service! And tons to spend your money on, including the full line of <a href="http://www.kaffefassett.com/" target="_blank">Kaffe Fassett</a> fabrics! Oh, so many fabrics, so little time, so many projects!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made our way over to Spokane, Washington, only about half an hour. We walked around the Riverfront Park. The water was thunderous!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With the CDA being too cold for us in the winter with the amount of snow it gets, I googled "where is the banana belt of Idaho?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the answer: LEWISTON AND CLARKSTON!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With two major rivers, the Clearwater River and the Snake River, which is at the lowest point of Idaho, only 745', we knew we had to see it... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we fell in love! Mild winters, warm summers, friendly people!!! Lewiston and Clarkston are sister cities, with Lewiston on Idaho side of River, while Clarkston on the Washington side! And yes they are named for the famous explores, Lewis and Clark!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Met some wonderful people at the <a href="http://lcvalleyartcenter.org/" target="_blank">Valley Art Center</a> and we talked about me teaching classes when we move there next year!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I spent a lot of time in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/patrickscrafts/" target="_blank">Patrick's Craft Shoppe</a>! Connie and I had a great visit and she has a wonderful inventory of fabrics along with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/BrazilianDimensionalEmbroidery/" target="_blank">Brazilian Embroidery Threads</a>! Looking forward to meeting on Wednesday mornings for some refresher lessons, Connie!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a couple days there, and we could have spent a week, maybe in June we will have another chance, we headed out on highway 12, the scenic route back to Montana. We followed the Clearwater River all the way. It is absolutely beautiful, but a slow ride. We got into Missoula with no hotels available due to graduation night of a nearby college. So we made our way down to Hamilton to hit the hotel after midnight!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In North Fork we stopped at a delightful <a href="http://thevillageatnorthfork.com/" target="_blank">General Store </a>!!! Just ask Birdie for help, she really knows how to provide service!!! Thanks Birdie!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our last stop on the way home was in <a href="http://www.cityofsalmon.com/" target="_blank">Salmon, Idaho</a> ! We had lunch and walked the streets! Of course, I found another Quilt store, <a href="http://www.coppermtnquilting.com/" target="_blank">Copper Mountain Quilting</a>! Another wonderful selection of fabrics and great service. Wish I was closer, sounds like an active class schedule!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we had a great trip! I enjoyed meeting everyone!!! </div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">March was a fun and busy month for me in my favorite passion...Crazy Quilting!!!</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h3>
<b>First, another successful and fun class with <span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://cetrain.isu.edu/nka/" target="_blank">New Knowledge Adventures!</a><span style="color: black;">The class was on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with a total of 12 hours.</span></span><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b></h3>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>With 9 students we were on a roll. I had the table behind me covered in packets of fabrics and after talking a little about color theory, I had the students choose their own color choices!</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Each week I would have the table covered with different projects I have done over the years to give the ladies ideas of how to embellish.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>One of the first things I teach them, is to let the creative genie out of the lamp, and not copy cat me!!! Just because I do a stitch a certain way, does not mean that is the only way to do the stitch! It was really fun watching their creativity come to the surface!</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><i>Crazy Quilting</i></b> by B.J. Sandusky. </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Brenda
Sandusky will be giving a presentation for the Bannock County
Historical Society on the history of crazy quilts and her personal
journey with the art of crazy quilting. </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Brenda
has been crazy quilting since 1997 and her journey continues today. She
has taken four extensive classes with globally recognized needlework
expert and best-selling author Judith Baker Montano, taught basic crazy
quilt classes for New Knowledge Adventures and the Pocatello Art Center,
and received several awards for her handiwork at the Idaho State Fair.
Brenda has also been published in Crazy Quilt Quarterly and participated
in their 2015 Crazy Quilt Calendar. For more about Brenda and her
journey check out her blog - https://sewkrazzy4you.blogspot.com/ and
Flickr site (over 400 photos!) documenting her journey -
https://www.flickr.com/photos/60882932@N06/ </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">If you enjoy handwork, this presentation is a must see. There will be examples of Brenda’s art on display for this event.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">First I gave them about 20 minute talk on the history of Crazy Quilts. My first question was to ask for a show of hands who knew what crazy quilts are? I was flabbergasted at how many hands went up! I knew I had a great audience. </span><br />

The muslin pieces are laid out to show the next set of blocks to continue with this theme. The center is paper samples to show how the center will be accomplished.<br />
<br />
So, I have been busy on the outside blocks. The top right is where I started with Virgo. These blocks will be the main constellation, along with the Decan constellations that help complete the story, which is what Decan means.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is Virgo, along with the fabric attached for the backing, which is not finished yet.</div>

These are 9" by 14" blocks. Top and bottom row are horizontal, but the two sides are vertical. My count before starting these was at 819, with this block total count at 43.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you look for these stars, they will indicate the count on the constellation circle from ancient days...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I use the same two stars, but each block they will be in a different combo or design!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now Aquarius, with a count of 42, last in the vertical on left side of quilt:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are what I have completed so far...working on Pisces now. This brings my count to 1074!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not finishing these pieces till I tackle the center piece. So there's no telling what I may still add before completion!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's all the blocks laid out on the floor...the paper center has moved around, no fear, I know what will go where!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout will also create four new corners of the quilt. So I have already designed in my head what will go in each of them!!! (Pisces is missing on the lower left, because it is on my table!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, thanks for following my progress on this <a href="http://pintangle.com/2020-crazy-quilt-guidelines/" target="_blank">2020 Challenge</a>!! This is a fun and challenging project. Stay tuned for more!!!</div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;"><b>Christmas is just around the corner....who is ready for that? Not me!!!</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The picture above is a Christmas ornament that I made many years ago. I entered it in the Idaho State Fair in September and it took First place!!! I will have a tutorial on how to make one for yourself in first issue of the <a href="http://www.magcloud.com/user/kitty-and-me" target="_blank">Crazy Quilt Quarter</a> early spring. That way it will give you all year to make plenty for gifts! This magazine is not only the best crazy quilt eye candy, but the only one!!! <a href="http://kittyandmedesigns.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pamela Kellogg</a> is the publisher/owner and we all love her. The publication is a print-on-demand, which means you can order any of the back issues!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, let's get caught up on where I left off on my2020 Challenge. I left off with four corners pieced to be embellished! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uAzpB73WxYI/WfoUQ0xcoSI/AAAAAAAACD8/Dbf1BJFywugEO8ilXW_K6RKurL3s0wUQwCLcBGAs/s1600/top%2Bleft.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uAzpB73WxYI/WfoUQ0xcoSI/AAAAAAAACD8/Dbf1BJFywugEO8ilXW_K6RKurL3s0wUQwCLcBGAs/s320/top%2Bleft.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I call this one, "Creation Day 4". In Genesis we are told God created the stars on the 4th day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> "</b>And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. <br />
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. " Gen. 1:14-19</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why this is amazing to me...God created His Redemption Plan BEFORE He created Adam and Eve on the 6th day!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I have at least a dozen patterns of using four! Obvious, is the yellow star in the lower right corner. The four white stars, four stitches in the Maidenhair stitch, etc. The total count on this block is 36. I have used Pearl Cotton threads not used yet, along with stitches, combos, and beads, etc. that I have not used yet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mkfUUPxWcFI/WfoadbOmexI/AAAAAAAACEU/wJ-rX17dw8cT9BTMJXQ4BoY3uEQVNrIDwCLcBGAs/s1600/2017-11-01%2B12.59.46.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1580" data-original-width="1600" height="316" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mkfUUPxWcFI/WfoadbOmexI/AAAAAAAACEU/wJ-rX17dw8cT9BTMJXQ4BoY3uEQVNrIDwCLcBGAs/s320/2017-11-01%2B12.59.46.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This block's challenge is to do all stitches with ribbon embroidery, all white originally, and then painted with ProMarkers after stitching! The flower spray at the bottom, was in a stitch book, and it's called "The Treasures of the Garden." So I chose that as the title of this block! The two trees are the trees in the Garden of Eden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." Gen 2:9 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">Of course, the tree of on the left is the Tree of Life and the tree on the right is the Tree of Knowledge. Again, just like the first corner, the fabrics, the stitches, embellishments have not been used yet in this challenge. The count is 41!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">The star in the upper right corner symbolized Sirius, which is in the sky at night, just below Orion. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, and it means Prince. Orion, right above Sirius, in ancient languages means Coming Forth as light! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isa 9"6</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">So, I used a star lace from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RavioleeDreams" target="_blank">Nicki Lee Seavey.</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">Then the two"streamers" are from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/Cathyscrazybydesign" target="_blank">Cathy Kizerian </a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: black;">This star represents Sirius, and the block is called Prince of Peace!</span></span></div>
