Finally, the indecision is over and I will be taking the quilts, Feelin’ Blue, Too<\/i><\/a> and The Eye of God<\/i> to be quilted tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\"Eye<\/a>
Eye of God Top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I need to figure out how to quilt them as well. I have some ideas, which I have not drawn out, but should. I also can’t decide whether or not to have them heavily quilted. They are the squarest quilts I’ve made, but are still a bit off. Having them heavily quilted will make them hang better. Still, I am not sure the design requires it.<\/p>\n

I was promised that they would be back by August 15th. Assuming that date, I looked at the calendar and that gives me two full weeks to get them bound and sleeved. Though enough time, I will be a lot better off if I get the sleeves and binding ready in advance. I’ll find out the timing for sure tomorrow. And for better or for worse, that is the plan.<\/p>\n

I took the measurements today and found the last bits of purple fabric for The Eye of God<\/i>, so, theoretically, I should have no problem making the sleeves and the binding before the quilts come back. I MUST work on this project every night so I am not ripping my hair out at the last second. I probably will be, though, as I always do. I swear not to, but it never works and it is something I need to work on. I have lots of other issues to work through, however, but I’ll put this one on my list.<\/p>\n

I was reading in Robbi Joy’s new book, Free Expression: the art and confessions of a contemporary quilter<\/u><\/a> (BTW, the website is a little unwieldy, but you can find the book on page 5 of the book area), and she has a different technique for creating sleeves. She makes the sleeve doubled and then does some kind of folding trick which prevents the hanging rod from bulging out. I do that, too, but not in such a sophisticated manner. I like the idea of making a doublesided sleeve. Even if I can’t figure out her technique, I can use the doublesided sleeve regardless.<\/p>\n

I will have to review before I try it. IF I try it. We will see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
