a star of batik beauty...

some time ago
our friend
crystal of
 
 
frivolous necessity
created a pattern
she named
from the
moment i first
saw it
it looked most like
a star of david
to me
this past week
i needed
 to accomplish
something with fabric
for the total
relaxation of the
project
from the
organizing and the cutting
 

to the stitching
 
 
to the squaring up
 process
where the end
 result is
this
lovely pile of
color
 
 
to the layout
on the design wall
 
 
it was just the
stitchy therapy
i needed
and now it's hanging
in our front window
just in time
to wish
everyone a
very happy
hanukkah

old dogs learn new tricks...

i have been
quilting
for many years...
.
decades in fact
yet i have never
not one single time
pieced anything
 using batiks
there i said it
hard to believe i know
not sure why exactly
as i love looking at them
finally
 i decided the time was now
it helped that i fell in love
head over heels in love with
a spring 2011
 hoffman bali pop release
i started out small
important for an old dog
learning a new trick
 by atkinson designs was perfect
when i was finished
i had some leftover strips...

another first for me
an intentionally pieced backing
love how it came out
off it went to be quilted on friday
i can't wait to see
