My square for the charity quilt this year! (It really is a square, but I left it in my hoop for photo purposes and cropped it!)

In case you didn't know, around the fandom every year artists volunteer to make a square for a quilt to be auctioned off for charity. WhiteHeather has done it in year's past and it's been auctioned off at BronyCon and Everfree NorthWest, but this year it's being organized by Jillah92 and making the big jump over the pond to GalaCon in Germany!

Previous Quilts:


On the technical side:
This piece is made with 10 different quilting cottons, and machine appliqued. I digitized the entire file myself, including the lettering (because I'm too cheap to buy the lettering software, lol). The cottons were washed and dried, ironed, fused with lightweight stabilizer, and then hooped with no-show embroidery interfacing underneath. Threads used are all Sulky Rayon thread.

On the inspiration side:
I feel honored to be able to take part in it this time around, and very privileged to have gotten the episode I requested--Family Appreciation Day. This episode holds very special meaning to me, especially with the passing earlier this year of my elderly aunt who was more a mother to me than I've ever had. While the zap apple is the most recognizable icon of the episode, I wanted to imbue the deeper meaning of the episode into my square. So I chose words for each stripe and color on the zap apple that really embody what should be at the heart of relationships we have with our loved ones, and especially our elders. The words can go both ways, but each of these should be taken into consideration of how you treat your loved ones.
