The ZONE

Welcome to my world here in the small town of Millinocket. The first crazy quilt pictured in this blog is hanging up in the local library. Another crazy quilt top is done and has been done for awhile. I need to finish it for a client soon, I haven't been posting here because I had the wrong browser, this is a lot less frustrating. It took me awhile but I finaly came up with a lead for the second crazy quilt. A card from the Met gave me the color scheme that I wanted to use. And then I went a chopping up fabric and making sure that no two colours touched as I sewed it back together. Embroidering all sorts of things onto this one, even a peacock feather and some spider webs. I always explain the spider webs in the quilt. They were considered good luck in European needlework way back when. My Quaker friend gave me a wonderful , inspiring book that helped the second quilt to evolve as far as the embroidery was concerned. I'm not a techie when it comes to sewing , I try to lead with my strengths and that would be sewing by hand. It's so soothing.
