A response to 30andout ... and on and on. The timelessness of quilting, eternity in a single stitch.

Thinking out loud as I quilt, responding to a comment about the importance of creative process

How quilting texturizes the surface. Making a quilt on line

Having gone to the country I suffer withdrawal pains, being separated from the quilt project. Look at two of my quilts

unpacking, unfolding, trimming of the middle layer, the batting, of the quilt.

Ironing the top before assembly of the quilt on the quilting frame

Finishing piecing, starting the back

Superman runs amok. Stitching, laying out, cutting

crazy

This quilt is composed of leftover cut pieces from the previous 5 quilts plus 2 Japanese visitors. It is machine pieced and hand quilted.

Warmth Of America

In President Obama’s inaugural address he stated “Our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We must use these inspirational words as a foundation on times to come. Mesh   more...Gelman took these words and founded the Blanket America Patchwork Heritage Collection which offers everything from blankets, quilts, throws and down comforters. These fabrics are made with some of the best linen ever created. All the items are colored with red white and blue to symbolize the strength and unity our country prides itself with.
The patches on these products are there to symbolize how our country came to be. 13 patches for 13 colonies sewn on to strong fabric with the thread that keeps this country together. Covered with the colors of our national flag, it will be quite easy to fall in love with these quilts, and throws. Also on the quilt, is the President’s Inaugural Address and the Statue of Liberty and all of her glory, with her torch lighting the way and path out of the darkness in which our country’s economy has seemed to slip into. With purchases of these items we can regain our countries wealth and greatness together.
Blanket America’s dream is so strong they have teamed up with companies such as JC Penny, Gifts in Kind International, and Amazon.com to help everyone gain access to these great American products. Items will be available at all locations as soon as mid-January and Amazon.com already has a few products on sale. Thanks to JC Penny, Amazon.com and also Gifts in Kind International, we will continue to work hard to supply the American people with products they can love and enjoy with their families.
Not only will these American products keep our bodies warm, they will also help warm the hearts of all Americans. We thank you all for your continuous support.
