I prepared 24 blocks for one quilt and 20 for another. I had the sashing fabric ready to go, and settled down to square off the set of 24. Half of them were wrong, and had to be re-done. What a disappointment. This is not me! over the years I have gained a reputation for the quality of my technical work, and it sure wasn't here in this set of blocks. They needed to be taken apart and re-stitched. Ar-g-g-g-h! However, the job was done,-- with the help of my husband, who is one of the best "reverse stitcher" that I know.
I have been exploring blogs and found a very inspiring art quilter. Her name is Rhianon and she lives in Scotland. (www.rhianontaylor.blogspot.ca ) This ladies work is phenomenal, and from what I see she is very, very productive. Hr feathers are particularly interesting, as she echoes several times and uses bright and different threads for each echo. I notice that she also appears to use hand-dyed fabric, which is something I have liked in the work of Diane Gaudynski.
so, once these charity quits are tucked away, it will be time to audition my hand dyes, or maybe make some more!
