My year has been busy both in the studio and in my life away from it.
On the Quilting side, I do have many customer quilts to share and I will try to catch up in the coming weeks! I will also share more about our winter vacation and what a fun adventure it was.
I had so much fun working on Donna’s selvage quilt…
A selvage quilt is pieced using saved selvages from fabrics often saved from years of quilt making and often donated pieces from friends.
Donna shared these statistics with me…she used a total of 23,400 inches of selvage, that’s 1,950 feet that’s approx 1/3 of a mile. I weighed her quilt after quilting so it included the foundation fabric used for piecing the 100 percent cotton batting along with the batting and it weighed 13.5 pounds. She has since added the binding.
We, well mostly Donna’s husband Tim chose the quilting design Prism. The angles of the design are a fun contrast to the piecing stitches and looks fantastic on the back.
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up…and she didn’t waste any time adding the binding!
She also shared this picture of the quilt on their King size bed (before binding)
Her quilt will be displayed at the quilt show in Dryden in you happen to find yourself at the show and you will very likely run into Donna and Tim there as well!
