After threatening for (gulp) a year, I have finally put the edge on the last of three quilts from my thesis project. Nothing quite like the soft, warm, and quilted comfort of closure...
This is a Gee's-Bend-inspired block quilt made from all second hand fabric: clothing, bed sheets, cloth napkins, etc.
(and yes. my next project, if you must know, is to make that giant american flag you see into a quilt.)
Feels good to replace my too-hot winter comforter with a light, summery, homemade quilt!
What a sweet little house embroidered by someone at last spring's quilting bee!
...and a few screen-printed bones thrown into the mix - after all, this was my printmaking thesis project, eeek...
