Thread Art --






I started to quilt thinking this was the kind of work I most wanted to do. When I was first quilting I would end up with lots of bubbles is the fabric and bunching in the cloth. I could not figure out what people were talking about when they "bobbin work" - but after a long break from even being interested in doing this work -- here some is.

I was making something to give as a prize during a drag show - and poof this came out.

Im really kinda loving it.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
