Meanwhile . . .


Each evening last week was spent creating a flimsy 
for Mary Lou Weidman using her new 
Benartex fabrics that are due out next year.

Fun At Heart (the flimsy) will be on the way to her later today ~
(photos very soon)

but meanwhile . . . 

Jester has been waiting not-so-quietly
on the rocking chair in my studio.

Chris did an awesome job of quilting.
(Waterworld is one of my very favorite pantos)

After checking sources, she told me the amazing rainbow thread 
we had chosen was backordered (rats!)
. . . so we had agreed on lime green as a second choice
but ~  look closely at the photo . . .
she had the rainbow thread all along!!!!

And the binding you see in the upper right hand corner
is what was left after binding Spirit Song . . .
just too perfect since Jester was created using
squares and rectangles cut from the remaining bits of
Spirit Song's fabrics.

Can't wait to sit and stitch!

I am so glad the thread made it! It was the perfect choice,after all, it is called 'Jester', way too cool! I love this quilt and I know it will bring you many smiles in the dead of winter! Look forward to seeing it complete with binding. I think this is my favorite, second only to the Flying Monkeys!

You're in SUCH a great place these days. It's contagious.

That is so cool that you'll be able to use the same binding on both quilts!
