On my design wall and in my bookcase – 2015.04.06

Work continues on the collaborative quilt.  I’ve quilted more straight lines in black and a copper-gold variegated thread.  Tomorrow I’m taking it to Anne’s so we can decide on the next steps.  Some options we’re considering are:

• adding square or rectangular patches from the fabrics we printed, painted and dyed together
• hand-stitching – possibly to outline the discharged and/or foiled circles
• binding the quilt with a black fabric, or finishing it with a facing

We’re also going to start planning our next collaborative project – something in blue this time.

I was notified last September that several of my quilts were included in a new book by Sandra Sider – 1000 Quilt Inspirations.  But until I received my copy this week, I didn’t know which of my quilts were included, only that one of my Rainy Day People pieces was on the cover.

It turns out that 7 of my quilts are in the book.  This is my favorite page of the book – it includes 4 of my quilts.

I’ve flipped though the book quickly, but need to go back and look again at all of the wonderful quilts in the book.  If you see this book in your local bookstore, take a look.  I think you’ll like it.
