What a way to go.
Finished the quilt.
Disaster stuck in the form of flooding last night…. the excessive rain took out the power in the shed….I had no internet, no lights no computer. I was putting the finishing touches to a program and suddenly lost the lot. So I made a cup of coffee, had a little brie, crackers and quince jam…
Finished quilting the quilt.
Does this ever happen to you? The difference in the quilting styles in this quilt has certainly been a challenge. However, I never have a problem I can always adjust it with the binding. First of all I cut my binding 3" wide. I like the binding to be a feature on the quilt. At…
I'm still working on the project… I have a few refinements…. but YES, I can create a watercolor in fabric. I need to change the neck and left hand side of the lower face. It began this way.

Woven Watercolor quilt in process
The day was much quieter today. I was working on videos, and I just couldn't help myself… I just had to add more quilting to the street work quilt. My main objective today was to create at a new woven watercolor sample. This one is a little different in that I'm using colored fabric as…
