Maybe Harriette, my quilting teacher, thought that if I quilted I would get a better handle on numbers. You do need math to quilt. It hasn’t worked out that way. I do few quilts, and when Harriette was alive I’d call her with any numerical questions. Now I ask George. All questions are numerical if you are quilting.
I found a pile of cut fabrics at the Cancer Society thrift store. They are going to make up a new North Star quilt. I have it laid out already on my work tables. Solid colors. Happy and bright. I’ll take lots of photos as I go along. It’s going to be twin sized, so the agony of creation will be a little less than the usual King sized quilt inspires in me.

Wow! That is a very impressive quilt, Mage. I love that machine embroidery work you've done. I would have broken a 100 needles doing something like that.
ReplyDeleteI have a quilting foot and lower the feed dogs. Rarely do I break a needle. :)
DeleteThat's a nice looking quilt. Good luck starting your new one.
ReplyDeleteI do like the one in the picture, all the different houses.
ReplyDeleteThat house motif was a very popular 19th century quilt design. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnd I got the dishes washed!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting quilt. Your new one sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteSo it takes math huh? That is probably why I never took up quilting. I really like that one with the houses. Didn't know you were doing mostly king size. Yikes. Hey twins need quilts too.
ReplyDeleteI think that quilting has really gotten into your blood as the saying goes. I understand that it does that. 😀
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in the house quilt. You are certainly staying busy, Mage.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive collection
