Why Not!
Why not create fabric to coincide with a project that is waiting to be finished. In cold weather us older ones are not going to go fabric shopping. The marbled black fabric was intriguing. On its own it was stark. Metallic silver and red thread played well and brightened it up. When Dennis comes down to the sewing studio and is wowed . . . it’s a good thing. Twenty three individual embroidered pieces were needed. Each piece will be cut down and placed as sashing and cornerstones in between nine inch blocks. Enough for one day, the lights in the studio are off. The final step was Dennis cleaning off the embroidery hoop from the sticky stabilizer. Truth to be told there was still sticky stabilizer from Kersten’s Pokémon quilt. Creating custom fabric with the “just so” size was a good challenge. The important thing is to know when enough is enough for any given day. I am going to enjoy the bright sun coming through the windows and sit in my favorite chair for a spell before doing a tomato soup and grilled cheese supper.
