Busy Busy

Well my hand has got better, at least somewhat, so I am back quilting. I am being very careful when I roll the quilt on though. Rather foolishly I forgot to photograph that last quilt I did, but as I know the owner pretty well I hope to get a picture when it has been bound. Still I have now had time to upload the quilt you saw a couple of days ago.

Well I assumed I would now be able to show you the pictures, but blogger isn’t sure about that. I will keep trying and when I get them up I will add to this post. Sorry about that. The spell checker isn’t working either, so please ignore any funny spellings.

OK, I now have the full image up. I took this picture early in the morning in the workshop at Patchwork Corner. Believe it or not that blinds were down, but the sun was still streaming in. I love these crisp sunny mornings. It also does a great job of showing up my quilting. I had intended to get a picture later in the day to show it lit more evenly but of course I forgot. The quilt is a kit that Jenny produces and I think she said it had over 40 fabrics in it. It certainly has a lot, and it is a lovely scrappy quilt. It was fun spotting all the subtle variations as I worked.
Yay, and finally I have the detail picture up as well. This is a close up of the handily high lit area. It gives you an idea of the quilting pattern. I chose all over feathers for this quilt as it seemed to be the most traditional of my designs, and I couldn’t see contemporary designs suiting these fabrics. I am glad that Jenny only told me afterwards that she couldn’t see what I had in mind, and that she liked how it came out. Eeek! That could have gone very wrong. Still all’s well that ends well, and I now have two more quilts that want similar designs so I guess it can’t be bad.

On the other hand I have another quilt waiting that hasn’t told me or it’s owner what it wants quilted on it, and I want to get it done for early next week. Hope it gets chatty soon.
