hi
in an effort to clear the ufo atmosphere, i finally got this one all stitched up.
it is based on a mccall's pattern, the first time i have ever used a commercial quilting pattern. i wanted to do something in the style of the gee's bend quilts (which i love love love) but i didn't quite have the courage to set out on my own. the fabrics were a gift from an internet friend whose mom was a long time (and incredibly gifted) quilter.
seemed like a good match - the red, white and blue - to honour a rich american quilting tradition. the label tries to represent the infinite giving and receiving we engage in when we quilt, and the gratitude i feel for all the quilters that have gone before me.
this one is a little strange in that it looks SO SO SO much more lovely all crumpled on a bed than hanging on the line.
hope your fall is bringing you project completions too. it really does feel wonderful to sleep under them!
thanks for looking!
