Songs of Friendship
Laughter, sipping tea, sharing, caring, trust, safe, nonjudgmental, encouragement, love, acceptance, understanding, kindness, truth, hugs, thankfulness . . . these are Songs of Friendship.
Songs of Courage
Songs of Courage
© 2012 Fannie Narte
Life can be fun when we see as a child and when we feel free to be silly. Life also has its challenges. Although we are never alone, during these times, we may feel lonely, and fear can creep in and steal the light. Sometimes we may even feel paralyzed and no matter how hard we try to overcome our challenges and fight our battles, taking that step forward is difficult. During times like these, we need songs of courage to help us.
Our faith, family and friends sing us through our storms. A listening ear, kindness, graciousness, empathy, never forceful, always encouraging, safe, nonjudgmental . . .
We move forward one gentle word at a time, we conquer our fears one candle at a time.
Yes, life does have its challenges, but we always have . . . Songs of Courage to bring back the light and banish all fears.
Life is fun when we see as a child and when we feel free to be silly.
Sisters
This fabric panel was produced from my original mixed media painting.
THE INSPIRATION
Sisters . . . biological . . . friends--kindred spirits.
Timeless.
Someone who listens with an open heart,
Someone who holds your hand while crossing that bridge,
Someone who carries your heart when it's tender,
Someone who knows your weaknesses and never judge,
Someone who listens and speaks the truth,
Someone who brings you flowers on cloudy days,
Someone who forgets your secrets,
Sisters.
Singing Pears
Singing Pears was produced from a quilt block I submitted for publication in Art Quilting Studio, Winter 2010 issue.
THE INSPIRATION
My Pears are singing their happy song:
Feed your soul,
Sing your song,
Sing joyfully.
Sing your song,
Sing joyfully.
Here they are on Page 61.
My Pears are letting you know that anything you can imagine is within your reach.
Reach out; pick a star, or two, or three or more.
They are within your reach.
They're yours.
You can have the moon if you sing like a star.
You can have the moon if you sing like a star.
Our Song

This fabric panel was made from my art quilt titled "She Remembered Me When She Heard Our Song," which was donated to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative and sold to help raise funds for Alzheimer's research.
"Music
is powerful. It can open hard hearts. It can soften broken hearts. It
can heal pain. It can heighten the emotions of celebrations. It can
open a pathway to the secret place where memories live. Music can enter
a locked heart when words or other keys cannot."~Fannie Narte
My Mother, My Daughter

| My Mother, My Daughter |
THE INSPIRATION
A mother nurtures hearts and develops wings.
A daughter speaks. A mother listens, quietly.
A daughter cries. A mother opens her arms, willingly.
A daughter hungers. A mother feeds, nutritiously.
A daughter explores. A mother watches, safely.
A daughter dreams. A mother dances.
A daughter sings. A mother celebrates.
They dance.
A daughter sings. A mother celebrates.
They dance.
They sing.
They elevate one another.
They give love.
They share love.
They are love.
They elevate one another.
They give love.
They share love.
They are love.
Kindred Spirits
This panel was produced from my original mixed media painting.
THE INSPIRATION
Someone you connect with, someone who reads your thoughts, someone who finishes your sentences, someone who enjoys your passions, someone who dances and sings with you, someone who blesses you with ideas, and tangible gifts that elevate you . . .
When kindred spirits journey together, two hearts are blessed.
Celebrate the kindred spirits in your life.
