As I sit upstairs in my sewing room watching TV (dancing, loser, idol, model, survivor etc), I am trying to grab a prepared project and work on it. Since I often cut out clothing patterns, or strip up fabric for quilts, I usually have something that can be done just at the machine....so I can watch and listen and work at the same time....works for me!Last week I started to put together what was supposed to be a queen-sized quilt. When I had this much done (center light-colored piece) I decided I needed some baby girl quilts more than I needed a queen quilt (I can get 5 baby-size from the same pieces)...so this is the result of that decision. I added the borders and machine-quilted straight lines...that much quilting I will do.
I love these fabrics...I may make a couple little girls jackets from some of this too....stay tuned.I'm off to Pro Chemical in Mass. on Thursday for a 3-day class on shibori dyeing with acid dyes on silk....teacher is Doshi... http://www.doshifiberart.com/index.htm ...she's fabulous...I have some of her wearable art as I admire her work tremendously. Of course, I'll take pictures.
