Fabric batting...


This is the front of the quilt - after I added the edges.

This is a view of the back --

Close up of the fabric on the back.


Well, I used up some fabric thinking it might be strong enough to be the back of a quilt. I thought a light weight quilt would be perfect .. but, Ive decided the backing isnt strong enough for constant use. So, Im going to put another back on the quilt and the current backing will become the batting.

This fabric is a sort of waffle fabric that would be great as shower curtains or window curtains -- but doe snot seem strong enough for daily use.

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.

I should rewrite that sentence. The sun here, at home in New Orleans, is a lot brighter than back in Maine. I try to remember that even in December sunscreen is necessary. I got a sunburn last week at the zoo, even though I'd worn SPF 60! If I forget to wear sunscreen when I walk George I get a small sunburn on my arms and on my bald spot even though we only walk for about 40 min. A few years ago, I decided to go to graduate school. I'll be graduating in May. During my breaks, I get time to make quilts. I'm working on string quilts this break. Making string blocks brings back a lot of great memor
