A piece that should have taken maybe 3 weeks has taken 3 months. Why? Because something happened while I was in Jersey, pertaining to this piece and I hadn't wanted to work on it since.
But I started it with the intentions of entering it into this year's Mountain Comforts Quilt Show. So that means I have to finish it.
The detailing is done. It's been washed and is hanging up to drip dry now. I'm finishing up the binding so tomorrow I can sew it on.
Thought about how many pieces I wanted to enter into the Mountain Comforts show as well as the Floyd Old Church Gallery Quilt Show. I've settled on really tossing it out there and entering 3 pieces- this one I'm finishing up, 'Wanderer's Garden' or 'Languishing at Midnight in the Garden of Rusted Dreams' or possibly 'Chaos' if I finish it in time. Would love to enter 'Feathers', but there's no sleeve and it wasn't made to have a sleeve either. 'Phoenix Rising' would be a good piece to enter for next year. It needs to tell me how it wants to be finished first.
Also need to put sleeves on the backs of the pieces for the Floyd show. Luckily I have until Sept 22nd.
