It’s been pedal to the metal over here, between getting designs prepped for Quilt Market next month, finishing revisions for the book, reviewing a project in a different book, submitting to magazines, and getting back into customer quilts. While some of it is still under wraps, I have a few things to share from the last couple of weeks, like this custom quilting job:
A custom quilt, she asked for visible quilting to show the thread path. I chose a leafy feather thing, since it played up the central vine motif. Swirls in the center.
and a secret project where I just got to play. This is the back!
We went to a family wedding where the kids both requested I make them bowties
Our only vacation in over a year! It was a much needed break.
I decided to break into my hoard of Denyse Schmidt fabrics, finally, and make a quilt for myself. Well, at least *plan* to make a quilt for myself…
5? 6? lines with various scraps thrown in.
I made a table for my Studio die cutter
And have been writing like a madwoman. School started, so everyone is readjusting, but loving the new year. What are y’all up to?
(oh, definitely go check out this amazing tomb at Amphipolis, probably linked in some way to Alexander the Great. It’s stunning! Also check out this incredible underwater site where the Antikythera device, what may have been a type ofcomputer, was found).
I’m so obsessed with keeping up with Antikythera conversation. It’s absolutely fascinating!
The quilting is gorgeous, the kids are adorable with their bow ties and I’m sure you are looking forward to some much needed rest soon.
