Where did the week go?
It's been quite a week since my last post. I know I've been busy, but with what?
A blizzard named Nemo got us hopping a bit;
my daughter's all-weekend-long dance competition in Connecticut (yes, during the blizzard!) claimed a big hunk of time; and,
I put the finishing touches on my Debt Crisis piece for CLAW. Do you remember the quilt top made up of 1930s blocks? It looks differently now. While I can't show you an entire image, here's a detail.
The surface has changed a bit, don't you think? I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. The blocks / quilt top underwent quite a transformation. I really like the slightly gnarly and irregular surface, but my walking foot didn't always like working with the entirely painted surfaces (both top and bottom); the timing got off. But fear not, my intrepid machine went to the "spa" yesterday for a deep cleanse and will come back restored, no doubt.

| A bit of a blurry pic from her solo, but you get the idea... She was a scholarship recipient at the end of the weekend (I'm busting with pride) |
