This is a quilt that I made in 2008 and never quilted until yesterday. I don't know what prevented it originally, since I was already here, and retired. Perhaps I didn't understand its artistic value then. It is so simple and clear compared to the other things I was making at the time. Now I see it as a strong statement, no fiddle faddle!
Or I may not have quilted it because straight line quilting hadn't entered my consciousness yet. So it was right to wait, and now is THE TIME.
I am so glad to have resurrected it.



Silk Breezes
Hand dyed silk shantung, hand dyed cotton and cheesecloth.
Fused. Hand and machine quilted. 24.75x 16.5" $250

Where have these quilts been hiding? Up in the garage attic. I sent Dave up there and he brought down a huge bag of mostly finished work, with only a few unquilted pieces in the mix.
I plan to go through the collected works and featured them on the blog in future days.



By the way, I see that I have now 900 followers!!! How thrilling, and so glad to have you here visiting me. It is so encouraging. Thanks!

  5. As one of your 900 followers, I must tell you that I enjoy your blog every day. From the quilts to the paintings, to the gardens and sweet doggies, I love it all! Oh, and I'm still waiting for your hubby to sled down the mountain.

    900 followers is awesome! And to think I was excited because I'm up to a six followers on my art blog, and three on my humor blog! Tee-hee-hee! 900 is REALLY worth getting excited about!

    Have a fantastic day Melody,

  7. I, for one, can not wait to see what is in the "attic bag". Bet you find some old friends and old - not so friendly tops in there....

    Don't know if I am listed as a follower or not. Just know that I,too, check you blog first every day. It is so bright and witty that I just have to have my "fix" first thing. A disappointing day when nothing new is there. Rock on Melody!

  9. Did you cut those wiggly strips for SeaBreezes free hand with a rotary cutter? Are they fused on and then machine quilted at the edge?

    I, too, read you every day. Glad to see you quilting again.
