Fabric and the Happy Dance

Fabric has a wonderful affect on me....even more wonderful when I get a bargain.

My guild had a silent auction and for a twoonie and some change I came away with this...
What is the effect you ask? I am again pleased with the world,
 happy to have saved this  mostly basement scented pile of scruffy looking fabric.
It's not basement scented anymore, just a bit scruffy.
 I have a wimm that calls for stripes so lucky happy me.
It's off to the attic with the fabric  (to get an attic scent)  and I am
back to viewing  the Olympics...go world go.

Red for Passion

  

Is this not a lovely quilt? Does it make you think a moment or two of passion could be shared underneath? Wink wink. Bring on the Champagne, and put a 'do not disturb' sign on the door.

Lynn the piecer,  informed me that the quilt shop owner thought the dahlia fabric ugly.  In the eyes of this beholder I think Lynne did a great job using 'ugly' fabric.
This quilt is a large one, has a wool batt and a lot of quilting, including the dreaded SID. The one border is 14 inches. It seemed to take forever to quilt, always the way when there is a schedule. I am well pleased with the end result. 

Here's a picture of the back. No! it's not puckered or creased, it is fresh off the frame, it is being picked up asap. 

 I need to learn more about photographing quilts, and acquire some sort of hanging system for them.

Thanks for looking,
