Along with a t-shirt and one other quilt I’ve been working on the “Serendipity” series.
This is “Serendipity As Well”.
As with the “City” series it’s a whole cloth concept quilt. French Silk top, silk batting, silk thread and this one has a silk backing.
I am having a lot of fun with the density of quilting. There’s about 6 hours into this quilt right now.
Because the silk thread is so fine the density of quilting is rather intense. I love that I can stitch over a line and not have a lot of bulk as I quilt. I’m really beginning to see why quilters enjoy quilting with silk and lower weight polyesters.
Because they are so fine there is a wholly different dynamic in the quilting process. I could almost use a magnifying glass as I stitch! In a few days I’ll post more on “Staten Island Sunset” I’m getting more fabric and Misty Fuse. Once I have the hand dyed silk organza fused to the Robert Kaufman Radiance I’ll post pics.
Happy Quilting!

Teri,
It’s gorgeous! How long do you sit at one time to work? It’s so intense.
Eileen it depend on how much time I have in between project. Sometimes a few hours and sometimes just a few minute. I estimated that I spent about 12 hours on a 12″ square quilt a few weeks ago.
I am so in awe of your work!
Thank you Maggie!
