Update: Behind the Scenes

The recipient of this quilt, Debra, chose to have the back fused on, and I think it looks nice. I used hand dyed cotton, which was already in my stash of fused fabrics, and cut it slightly smaller than the whole finished size, and then fused it in place. I added the label, also fused and sewed in the rod pocket with some ease for the hanging device.
I made this quilt last year, so that is noted on the label.
My friend Kay Sorenson sent me a link to her blog where she showed she did something similar for one of her pieces. See it here.

It's been a month since we bought this house and believe it or not, we are still bringing stuff from the old house, here. We finally had a warm sunny day, so it was perfect. I did a bit of floor washing, vacuuming and closet tossing,  but mostly it was loading the van and my car with stuff, like another sofa, coffee table, another TV and a cabinet or two. There are still things in the garage, and closets that must be moved, but we are getting there.
And then we had to rearrange furniture (our fave) in order to find places to squeeze in the moved items.
I might, I say might, find some time today to quilt. Sigh. So happy...all my new lights are finally in.
