End of August 2008

Here are a few photos of the things I was finishing up this month. I'm not doing a LOT of work lately, but I feel like I'm always busy! Why is that?



Donna gave me this quilt to do, and I had to think about it for a while to decide what I was going to do. Finally it became clear that I needed to do something feathery. So I decided that random feathers would be just the thing!




I did a nice feather all around the green border using a varigated green thread that perfectly blended with the fabric...so well, in fact, it was hard to get a photo to turn out!




The interior was done in a black (and sadly, this photo is pretty blurry), with dark blue on the back to blend in with the slate blue batik on the back.


She was very happy with the work and is hoping that her Mom likes it!


She handed me a new quilt to work on, but it needs to be done this week for the quilt show next month--the Elements Round Robin that the quilt guild did. I worked on Sharon's before, as I mentioned, and this is her quilt top! It's beautiful! Very different from Sharon's, and will be a challenge to find quilting patterns to reflect the various elements, and to get it done this week!


Enjoy!
