When a new quilting idea grips me it's like an all-out assault on my brain that I need to get down on paper.. this one is inspired by a slide of an exploding ball of heavenly gas that was part of a talk a I went to this week. I am adding more to it as I am going along and of course I HAD to check out what sorts of fabric might be available to work with!
Well 22 fat-quarters and a couple yard later I made it home with some of the MOST delicious fabrics! Most of them are batiks and hand-dyes so they are just right for the feeling I am going for.
But in a promise to myself I needed to get the Blackbird finished up and and I did {happy dance}.. so all it needs is it's binding! With a little luck I will have photos of it very soon!
So with a quick cleaning of my studio I will be ready to start on the
Mother Star
In the mean time I am looking at threads for this project... I suspect it's going to be really thread intensive so I want wonderful threads that just about glow.. to my first stop is going to be checking out the new line of silk threads from Superior. I have not gotten to try them yet.. but I have high hopes they are going to be just right!
Maddie the fabric looks "yummy'!! and I can't wait to see the quilt made up, it's going to be Gorgeaous !!
