Blue Goddess Mandala Table Quilt

Completed, documented, and now for sale over in Lisbeth's Etsy shop! And I ordered 14 more yards of fabric from Spoonflower today. Stay tuned!

Lisbeth is down with seizures again, but she had a good week and a half or so. I can always tell she's in a good space when she doesn't call me alot - and when she does call, it's to tell me to put money in her bank account! :^) She loves to shop!

This is the perfect table cloth to take for a picnic, since it has the thin layer of quilt batting in it! You could call this a picnic cloth, or something of that sort.

And it's beautiful, so when you're bored you could just gaze at it in wonder.

Lisbeth's Blue Bird Angels Mandala

My daughter Lisbeth suffered a traumatic brain injury when she contracted a viral illness in 1988 at the age of six, and she continues to be challenged by multiple difficulties including uncontrolled seizures, behavioral disturbances, learning disabilities and developmental delay. Despite these challenges, Lisbeth's mighty spirit and creativity are remarkably intact. She creates extraordinarily beautiful cut paper snowflakes - hundreds of them (it is ironic that a cluster of seizures is called a "flurry...") and like real snowflakes, each one is unique. Lisbeth sometimes refers to her creations as "brains," which is poignant, for in the making of each snowflake/mandala, it is as if she is recreating her brain. Lisbeth sees figures, animals, and objects in the cutout shapes of each one of her designs, and says that these are what the brain is thinking!
