My back is aching and I am sick of the sight and sound of my sewing machine but the commission is finished! I have even sewn down the binding.It measures 110cm x 124 cm ( 43 inches x 49 inches) I like it much better now that the stitching is in place. Just have the sleeve to sew and then it is ready to send tomorrow- and another thing off the to do list.Tomorrow we go to my in-laws for a few days so will take hand sewing with me and finish two pieces I am working on I hope. Egypt is staring to loom closer and closer- we leave on the 22nd of January and I have to get a lot more work done for my exhibition in France. As per usual I think I can do much more that I actually can so am in the process of ditching ideas. Still have a project quilt and article to write for the German magazine Patchwork Ideen- that's next on the list, then quilting the fire quilt which has been patiently sitting around and waiting and then we'll see what energy is left- but it is a flying start to the year!
Congrats on finishing your commission Dijanne.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling that you can do much more than you actually can. In my mind it takes such a short time.
Hi Annabel
ReplyDeleteThe brief was up to me but my friend had said that she liked quilts I had made in this sort of style. I have made a few over the years and so I had to dye all new fabric . I also want to make something with similar inspiration for my exhibition in france- as these are my favourite colours- I just have to think of an Australian motif to tie it in with the other work I am doing.
Dijanne,
ReplyDeleteAbeautiful quilt, love the colours
