Studio Saturday

Amazing what can happen with a few uninterrupted hours of studio time!  

This photo was taken on our fence in the thinning late afternoon sunlight (we're supposed to have rain 4 out of the next 5 days).  It's breezy today so I had to use a few push pins (in the seam allowances) to temporarily tack the top (48" x 56") in place.

Here's a slightly different view ~ this one is hard to photo!  Clicking to enlarge them really does help.

And this is the back!  I've had 2 yards of the art deco kitties in my stash since my very first visit to Stitcher's Garden in Franklin TN (early 2004).  There are 9-1/2" vertical stripes of green on both sides ~ that same green will be used for the binding (looks completely awesome in person).   The sun is going down so I hurried up to get the photos ~ later tonight, I'll press and square the backing and then it's off to visit Chris and Iris ~ Chris and I have been talking about how to quilt this one and we've come up with an exciting plan!

Lots of different name ideas popped into my head as I was stitching this afternoon ~ I wrote them down and will let them "marinate" for a while longer.  By the time the binding is done, the right name will make itself known.

I love studio Saturdays!
