Swirl Quilt Complete


Its been a while since I've posted anything. I've been busy with summer, but that hasn't kept me from sewing. Shown is the "Swirl Quilt", so named for the over-stitched S-spiral patterns. It took me about four, two-hour sessions to complete the long arm stitching. I'm happy with it. And as you can see its on the bed. We slept under it last night for the first time. Actually this is the first time we have slept under any of the few quilts I'm made myself.

I also wanted to mention the "Rosie Lee Tompkins" show at the National Museum of Women (on New York Ave) in Washington, DC. Her work is a celebration of color and texture, made mostly of velvet fabrics. Treat yourself. This show is running until September 21, 2008.

Love that quilting on your spiral quilt! It really transforms the quilt.
