This was the week of the giant quilt. Tim is still working on his biggest project yet, and I finished a couple more customer quilts for Carole's Quilts before Miss Carole has some long needed back surgery. She is getting her workload pared down and I am trying to keep up with her!! The first quilt is made from tee shirts and tee shirt pockets applied to great batiks and appliqued to a black background.The second (square in a square) is made from the kerchiefs the groomer puts on the dog after it's haircut is finished. The customer saved all of them and had Carole make a quilt for her bed out of the kerchiefs. She did a great job with the materials she was given; I wish I had half her creative talent.
The last quilt is one is so beautiful in person, the pictures here don't do it justice.My customer hand appliqued and embroidered the blocks . The fabrics are luscious and intense in color. I absolutely loved working on it. I hope you loved seeing it, too
