December 2, 2011
Today is Day 2 of the 12 days of A Virgin a Day. Many of us will post a Virgin Mary themed post every day, starting on December 1st and culminating with the Feast Day celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, on December 12th. The common disclaimer is that this is not meant to be religious, but rather to create community with visuals and words. More posts can be seen and you can find out how to participate at Rebecca’s recuerda mi corazon blog.
It is also Friday, and that means haiku My Heart, also at Rebecca's recuerda mi corazon. I will add a Hiaku to this post and try to say what these fabrics are telling me.

Guadalupe art
Whimsical Mary visions
Decorate my heart
I’ve always enjoyed the colorful artwork of the paintings, statues and paraphernalia of the Virgin Mary. Especially Our Lady of Guadalupe. She is colorful with her oranges, blues, purples and reds. When we bought a used dinette set at the Goodwill store in Las Cruces, NM last September, we looked at the tattered seat covers and immediately thought we’d recover them.
Since this small table and chairs would be used in our Winter abode in New Mexico, we thought we’d use a common theme of the Southwest, Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was quite simple. I Googled Our Lady of Guadalupe fabric and came up with THIS SITE.
I have posted some photos of the fabric that is sold by Some Art Fabric, which is actually a Blog! We chose one and got a couple of yards. Now that our plans have changed and there will be no Winter abode or even any Winter travel this year, I am thinking I’d like to get a shirt made from one of these Guadalupe fabrics. After all, Mrs. Spadoman has a
Guadalupe dress, as I posted last year during this Virgin Business.

We’ll see. Mrs. S got a new sewing machine recently. Maybe she’ll have her first big project. We’ll both need something to keep us busy spending the Winter in the Northland. In the meantime, I’ll stay busy gathering up more “Mary Stuff” for the rest of the days leading up to the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th.
Peace
