I baked one more kind of cookies yesterday afternoon and then last night I worked on the colorwash again. I have nine of the 18 cross seams sewn.
This hasn't been pressed yet but is a closer view of some of the batiks used. Some of them are over 20 years old. I know that because I purchased them while I worked at a quilt shop for which I was the fabric buyer.
Absolutely love the purple section—makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing it.. I have a Vietnamese car mechanic who grows Christmas cactus. The one in the front office is about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide—all green and lush. The office is dark and small and the plant sits about 10 feet from a north window, with very little artificial light, less in the winter as this is in the Seattle area. I always marvel—the plant is something to behold.
I know you do have a photographic memory.... Anyone that can remember how to run a embroidery machine that is 15 years old, and go into detail as to what to do, indeed has a photographic memory ! I do agree with Linda's comment about a fabricphotographic memory also.
Melinda's comment about the humongous Christmas cactus grown in low light is interesting. Is that one of the criteria for growing them ?
Color wash is always a treat to see grow, this one just flows from color to the other... Of course all of your color washes are absolutely gorgeous.
I am absolutely in love with your colour wash quilt. I am somewhat in awe, I can't seem to be able to cut my Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I have lots but I love the colour and movement which makes me nervous to cut in case I ruin my fabric! So you have given me some courage now I jut need to work out an efficient way of cutting so many squares without having to sew multiple mini seams.
The colorwash is looking so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks terrific. Some people have a photographic memory, you have a fabricphotographic memory.
