Ailie has always loved the sight of traditional Tibetan prayer flags, tattered and torn, fluttering in the wind, they appeal to her senses; quiet, peaceful, healing. When she felt the need to commemorate the anniversary of the passing of a dear friend, it was not surprising that this was the format she chose. Maybe not the traditional use of a prayer flag, but one that served the purpose. It was so satisfying to sit and mindfully stitch colours and shapes and images that reminded Ailie of her friend, and it gave her the time and mind space to think about her and how much she meant to her.

So AilieI continued to make more flags for people she loved, who were no longer in her life. She has been comforted and helped by working through this process, and the flags hang across the studio and continue to make her smile as she remembers them

She has even made a flag with a positive intention … to remind her to be a more compassionate person.

So, she invites you to join her in a spirit of remembrance, or whatever approach suits you. Using appropriate fabrics, colours, symbols and images, your treasured items, that fit with your ideas and your purpose, you can create a memory piece similar to my format, or one of your own design.
