"Lightning" Del Thomas 2003 10" x 17"
Here is another of the "Weather or Not" quilts. The 'bolts' are fused applique w/edge stitching and the little 'fingers' are machine stitched using #5 perle cotton. Because I use a mechanical machine (1977 Pfaff) I can thread perle cotton on the top - except for #3 which is too thick. Although I was doing the stitching by referring to a photograph, I think there are too many 'fingers'. I definitely should have simplified.
The Poodle Prince went home today and I miss him. It seems so quiet, even though I am always after him for barking, mostly at chimeras. He won't stay with me again until New Year's weekend, but I'll visit him at his house.
Hi Del,
ReplyDeleteLove the Weather or Not series, particularly Lightening. I have been laying low this last year after my father's death and am now getting back to work. Thanks to Holly Knott I can say at last I have a website, just went live a few days ago. Please take a look when you have a chance:
www.pennymateer.com Ruth's new webite looks fabulous. And I understand why you purchased Quenching Rain like you I like her new approach mixing commercial with hand dyed fabrics.

This is positively electric! Maybe you should have simplified but aren't you glad you didn't?
