this is written by one happy, happy quilter.
First, it is Friday - yippee... and I got off work a bit early, too!
Tomorrow is guild meeting - fun, fun.
The weather is just gorgeous, gorgeous - California lovely weather.
And, best of all, I am starting a new linen quilt....
(don't ask, have I finished my other ones that are in progress - just don't ask)
It's National quilt Day - it is obligatory to shop and to start a new quilt - that's how my family celebrates this holiday !!!!
It's based on a pillowcase - a lovely, lovely Madeira embroidered pillowcase...
I'm using a design from a Dover design book of Chinese designs, a beautiful Phoenix on a brnch.
bordered with an oak leaf scroll design...
Here it is all marked - ready to put on the underlayment, which is the next step. I have a beautiful piece of Dupioni silk I think will work... stay tuned...I'll show you a pic when I get it laid out.
And, I have been working on a bunch of lovely charity quilts - some for the Wrap-A Smile group, and some for the Hands2Help initiative that is beginning on Sarah's blog... here's a little Chinese coins that is almost finished, ready for duty!
Oh it's gonna be a fun, fun weekend......
I hope you have great quilting plans, too...
