PinwheelHeart

To borrow from Angela Walters, quilting and artistic expression are therapy for me. And it has brought me to the point where I have decided to design fabric to support the healing of others. My vision is to create fabric in support of child abuse survivors. I believe every child abuse survivor deserves a medal because it takes a lot of work to survive. I also believe they deserve the encouragement to heal and become thrivers. It is my hope that by creating these fabric designs I will empower family and friends to show their support.

The Pinwheel Heart
I bought the Cutie Patootie panel because it reminded me of me. I couldn't work with it for years because it triggered too many uncomfortable feelings. I finally started working on it. I got it done. Then I cut it all apart. Then I put it back together. I added blue ribbons because they are one of the symbols for Child Abuse Prevention Awareness. I actually used fabric with monster eyes because there were definitely monsters. I added the characters from "Inside Out" because I had a lot of conflicting emotions. Something was missing though. I decided that all survivors deserved a medal. I created The Pinwheel Heart Medal of Honor. The Blue Pinwheel because blue pinwheel gardens are "planted" in April for National Child Abuse Prevention month. Honor because shame is such a challenge. I added Thriver because I aspire to be a thriver. I donated the finished quilt to Synergy Services.
