"Now, from under the black, black, oily layer of clouds, she [Catie] watched the funnel form high in the air, watched it dip down once, watched it rise back up again, always moving in her direction.
She gazed up directly into the mouth of it, where she could see the revolution of the air and things-objects-whirling around inside of it. ...And then some of the things inside the funnel began to fall on her. She closed her eyes, expecting to be killed by them. But they fell lightly atop her and all around her.
When she opened her eyes, she discovered she was covered with flowers." (The Virgin of Small Plains, Nancy Pickford, page 185.)
This scarf is my project for the WhoDuKnit July book. Catie is a person dying of cancer and she has come to Small Plains in hope of a miracle. The scarf is wider at the top, narrowing down into a funnel at the bottom. Then I sewed all the flowers on, with thoughts of leaves on a stocking cap and pillow case part way through.

Very pretty - and innovative! A lot like leaves on a hat and pillowcase (some of us remember that), but probably more long term useful. I really like it!
This is really great Barbara! You put so much thought into designing it - it's a wonderful project!
What a lovely project...very unique.
