Fabric Bombing Details
The fabric bombing in my front yard is so awesome! And I’m happy to report that, so far, it’s holding up to the elements – including a heavy rain.
Check out some of the wonderful details. (Click any image for a larger view.)
The piece above was made by Katherine Robinson. The hand is 3D, and when you lift it you can see a heart on the other side.
In addition to the prayer flags which were strung between the trees, the tree trunks were also decorated. So delightful!
Gabriele DiTota made this lovely sheer panel. It caught the breeze beautifully.
Can you pick out Elvis in the background fabric of this next one? It’s a good joke on me, since I took that fabric to a meeting for the purpose of giving it away. One of the gals cleverly snatched it up, knowing that I’d be getting it back again!
Susan Rienzo included a variety of encouraging words on her prayer flags. Here, they’re shown with the morning sun on them. In late afternoon, the sun sorta shines through them.
I’m not sure who made this yellow prayer flag. It, too, waved easily in the breeze.
Mary Dyer made the prayer flags below. They have words like Faith, Peace, and Hope on them, as well as a cross. Mary explained that the A in Peace is skewed because Peace doesn’t always come in a straight line. How true! The Christian tones of Mary’s piece tie in perfectly with the way my family is handling our current challenges.
And here’s the rest of the installation crew. From left to right: Susan Rienzo, Gabriele DiTota, Jill Brown, and Ruth Anne Parker. They did an excellent job!
A HUGE thank you to all those involved in this project! I can’t think of anything I would have appreciated more.

Oh, what fun your friends must have had fabric bombing your yard! Only people who love you would go to this much trouble to surprise you with these colorful pieces. You referred to challenges, and I am sure this display of love and friendship helped remind you of caring and support from these dear friends.
Thinking of you, Martha Ginn
Yes, isn’t it fun, Martha?
And as you said, a clear indication of caring and affection. I’m loving it!
Am loving every detail of this Bombing….what a lot of work they went to, sometimes when there is nothing we can do to help we have to do what we do best, and your friends and students certainly did! Amazing….and the work is beautiful….my sewing machine needs dusting off….
Isn’t it fantastic, Cindy? I’m loving it and it’s holding up well.
What a beautiful display of love and caring! Whatever the current concerns may be, I am certain this lifted your spirits and reminded you of the many gifts God gives one when it comes to friendships. Your friends are awesome (and I don’t even know them). (I met you in Seneca, SC and have been reading your blog ever since. Your work is incredibly beautiful and colorful!)
