Yesterday morning I had to have a plumber come and fix a toilet and a faucet on the bathroom sink. Then I ran errands. When I got home I decided I needed to clean off my long arm table so I can be ready to quilt there too. I had all sorts of stuff draped over the bars and the plastic that I covered it with at the end of May was still over it. One of the things on it was these 3 pieces of hand dyed fabric that my daughter bought for me at a quilt shop in the wine country in California. The fabric is a cotton sateen and the colors are rich and vibrant. Last night my great-niece came over with my sister-in-law to choose a quilt. I didn't know it but she had already made a quilt and she loves batiks. I may be helping her out with her next quilt with my die cutter. This is the quilt she chose.

Beautiful fabric and your great neice chose a lovely quilt!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first looked at that top fabric, I thought it was a stained glass window. That is some lovely fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like at times your long arm machine is like what my old exercise bike was to me - a place to drape things over :) pretty fabric.

I agree with Gene... I thought you had taken a picture of a church window. You can really see the light coming through it!
ReplyDeleteThose hand dyed fabrics are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour niece chose a great quilt. How fun it must be to see her interested in quilting too.
Beautiful quilt your niece chose. I must try one of those Turning 20 patterns. Bought the pattern book last year.
ReplyDeleteLoooooovvveeee those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI can see that it would take expertise to come up with those hand dyed pieces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for your niece to have an aunt like you to have such a wonderful stash of quilts to select from.
