Almost?
I am on deadline right now. I am doing the edits for my book, I think I am being asked to add bits of my personality to this round of edits. At first I found it to be quite difficult, I am settling into it and it has begun to flow.
I have several posts I still have yet to get to, but they have fallen to the wayside for the time being.
Here is the Robison-Anton piece. It needs to get shipped off on Monday to arrive in Houston by Thursday. I sorta feel it needs just a tad more.
Notice that this piece is not square? Am I throwing caution to the wind in sending un-square work to Houston? It is my feeling that quilt art need not be square. Having never been to Houston, I don't know if the quilt police reside there.
Even still the piece will get shipped out, in all its un-square glory.
I am impressed that this piece has taken me one week to paint, batch, wash, collage and quilt. Tuesday night I brought this piece to my quilt art group and on that night the piece was basted.
The reason it isn't square is that I use the knife-edge technique to finish it, which means the batting and backing were tucked under from the back prior to quilting. I quilt very tightly and according to whim, not necessarily convention. so...
That is me.
I do hope the piece is well recieved.
