Cruciform Series: Green

Since I have been so excited about the sketches I have been making, I thought I would show the sketch along with the quilt. I use the drawing as a guide, not the LAW. As the top is constructed, I am hanging it up on the design wall to check my progress and make changes. This one had lots of changes before it reached this final result.

Cruciform Series: Green

Hand Dyed Cottons 61x68"

It is not quilted yet, but is pillowcased and all ready. I will have to wait til Sunday to start on it and the big red one. All I think I can get done will be the stitch in the ditch part. I have to bring them with me on Wednesday to our PAQA meeting. I haven't been since August, and this is a very important meeting, since we will be filmed by Wisconsin Public TV and I must look productive. They are coming to my house for the day on Thursday. Dave better start vacuuming now.

Since my fabric is all fused before I start, when the top is finished I can just place it on the freshly pressed batting and fuse it in place. I used the 12" floor tiles to help me square off the monstrous thing, as cutting and measuring it on the table did not yield even measurements, either the first or second time.

Thanks so much for your many good wishes for our anniversary. We had a lovely day and took our 'now' picture with the camera's timer. This is the fourth try. The second one was pretty good, except for cutting off Dave's head.

The newest scarf is purple!!
Today Frieda and Laura and I are going to a sale at Quilter's Resources in Chicago. They are a wholesale supply house and are moving to Aurora IL and want to reduce their inventory. We are just the gals to help them out. They sell knitting needles too. O my!
