Happy Worldwide Quilting Day!

 

Many of my friends are spending the day with

other quilters at a local quilting event...  but I

am home putting the finishing touches on the

nine quilts for my book.

 

 

I have hand sewn the bindings, sleeves, labels and

even some yoyo's on 8 of the 9 quilts in the past

month ~ 4 of them since Tuesday.  It has been a long

 but wonderful process and now my fingers are tired.

 

 

Since I have done nothing but work for the past

year, my studio is looking a "bit" disheveled...

I guess I will have to add " Organize the chaos

that is your studio" to the to-do list.

 

So the quilts will be traveling across the country

next week to spend many months at the publishers.

There are photo shoots to be done and the technical

editing begins.  I will miss them, they have become

such a part of my life.

 

Best wishes for a Happy Worldwide Quilting Day

for those of you that are interested in this form of

artistic expression.  And if you are not a quilter,

maybe you are lucky enough to snuggle up with one.

I love thinking of all the quilters I have come to know

all over the world, I wish I could see where you work,

where you shop for fabrics and your finished projects.

 

All the best ~ Ellen
