I guess I'm in the mood for modern art at the moment. This doesn't happen very often. Uh oh the galleries will be uneven...aaagh! Ok enough drama. On to the next quilt project.

Of course I must contemplate which design to do. As I said before I must be in a modern art mood. I'm going to do another square style design. This one is in a spiral. I designed it on EQ7. I did do a search to see if this design had been done by anyone. I thought for sure it had to have been done before. It is such an easy concept, but I couldn't find any examples. If you find one please let me know.

The hand quilting begins...I may have changed my mind about a thread selection since the Fabric and Thread reveal, but that's how I work. I make things up as I go. I'm comfortable with it. It makes the art that much more fun.

So here's closeups of what I've been working on the last couple days. I'm basically embroidering the top. I worked on the blue roses with exaggerated leaves today.

I took a couple days off to enjoy some Halloween fun. I got done quilting the top today. I think the embroidered flowers and leaves look pretty. The back doesn't look half bad either.
Nov 4
I stitched the back down and did some minor fixes. It's in the dryer now after being washed. I fluff dry my show or hanging quilts just in case some of the elements shrink or something. I don't prewash the embroidery threads.

Today was the final day. I managed to get pics before it started raining. Here are a bunch of close ups of the embroidered top quilting.
