I carved out about 6 hours yesterday where I just sewed. I finished a donation block and started another. I started and finished a Color My Quilt<\/a> shard. The biggest deal was that I worked on the Rosalie Dace piece I started in Sisters. I haven’t really worked on it since the trip<\/a>, but my mind has been working on it. I finally cleared off the big design wall enough to get it up there.<\/p>\n

I thought I would keep adding letters, but the number of pins in the piece (a problem at Sew Day I can talk about later) and unfused bits flailing around demanded a different course. The quilt really wanted me to sew down and fuse down letters so I did.<\/p>\n

The two sets of ribbon\/trim letters are sewn down using a zig zag stitch in varying widths. It really took forever because I sewed very slowly, but I am pretty pleased with the way it came out.<\/p>\n

For the ‘mary’s daughter’ piece, I used an Aurifil violet-ish color on the top and the bottom.<\/p>\n

For ‘William’s Mom’, I used clear Auriful in the top and an an orange 50 wt in the bobbin. I started out with orange in the top, too, but it obscured the circles that are part of the design of the ribbon.<\/p>\n

I feel good about the work. I am so pleased to be making progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
