It doesnt depend on whether one starts with yardage or pre-printed panels or premade blocks. The heart and soul that is worked into a quilt comes from the quilter and what they choose to do with the blocks. Amen. Ash's great gramma made him three baby quilts. She used panels. In the course of her life she has made some drop dead gorgeous pieced and appliqued quilts, and has never used a sewing machine for any part of any of her quilts. Considering that she is eighty something years old, I expect she is allowed to make some baby quilts useing panels! She is a little shakey in the hands and doesn't see quite as well as she used to. She does like to quilt still though, and has stated that she doesn't want to start a quilt and not get to finish it. The quilting on those panel quilts is just awesome. And she felt the need to _apologize_ for some of it! Well it's only about 10 stitches to the inch, not 12 like she used to be able to do, and she did a fair bit more diagonal gridding on the background than she really likes because she can't see so well anymore and...Geez! She quilted his name and birthday into all the quilts in a beautiful spencarian script, she did shadeing and stuff on the animals in the Noah's Ark panel, the Teddy Bears in another have quilted fur, and there is steam and cinders quilted into the train quilt. Such beautiful even stitches! Such precise lines! Such wonderful design work! Apologize for those quilts indeed! Honest to gosh if she had been any closer than North Carolina I would have gone over and smacked her upside the head for such an apology! Eightysomething years old or not.

Part of the problem is we have been planning a multipurpose, or at least multi linked website for some time now. It is so easy to say, well, I will just wait until I can put the pictures up on the (still nebulous) website. While I can handle one of my regular cameras, the darned digital one leaves me boggled. I will try and get everything together, redo the shots I took on the rolls of film that were destroyed along with my old camera in the flat stanley debacle a few years back (I had taken a bunch of pictures of assorted sewing projects, some of those rolls were weeks and months old), take some new ones and see if I can get the negatives dropped to disc. There is no reason I shouldn't use one of those free photo album thingies till my html maven gets his sh^H^H^H^H stuff together. NightMist -- "It's such a gamble when you get a face" - Richard Hell |
