Getting ready to start a couple of projects
I started Staten Island Sunset at MQX and need to do a bit of frogging before I continue. In the mean time I have another idea that may or may not be part of the "City" series of quilts or I have another idea rambling around in my head. With all of the wrought iron/metal… Continue reading Getting ready to start a couple of projects
Staten Island Sunset progress finally
In July I fused this beautiful hand dyed (by Esterita Austin) silk organza to the gold Radiance. I love the way Mistyfuse fuses. It was easy to handle and leaves the fabrics with a lot of flexibility.

I'm going to draft it out on paper and practice with some silk thread that I have from a couple of… Continue reading An Idea is Developing!
Superior Kimono Silk
Here's a sneak peak of the Superior Kimono Silk I purchased for my next quilt. I've figured out that this will be the 3rd piece in the "Twilight in the Bronx" series. I have some ideas floating around in my head that will eventually be worked out on this quilt. The blue seen in the… Continue reading Superior Kimono Silk
