What I'm working on...

For this week's Wednesday post, I was going to show you the video BSP and I made about solving the stop and start issue, but sadly, I lost my camera. :(


I brought it with me on Sunday when we played golf (I thought I would get some great shots of the fall colours and I did); but I must have dropped it on my way into the house.   And now it's gone. And just when I finally figured out how to get pretty good shots with my old one!

I'm using BSP's camera until I can replace mine,  and though it's better than a kick in the pants, ;) , it's not my dearly loved camera, and he and I (it's definitely a he) haven't gotten used to each other yet. 


 I love using metallic thead in moderation, and have been waiting for an opportunity to use this particular varigated version that includes pink and copper and gold - so pretty!

Blather blather - so the thing is, the quilt I'm working on is very labour intensive in terms of it's quilting, and is, therefore, taking a lot of time.  It probably won't be ready for showing until Monday and maybe not even then!




If you click on this picture and look at it up close, you'll see the varigated thread in use on that strip of lovely taupe dupioni silk.  This quilt is a real stretch for me, not only in its colour pallette (more on that when I do the "big reveal", but also it what I'm doing for the quilting; but I can't tell you how much I love it, and how excited I am to show it to you - and it's not even done yet!

So in the meantime (or at least until Friday when I should have a new video to post) you'll have to be content with a tease.





See what I mean about Mr. Kodak and I not knowing each other well yet?  I'm not even sure we like each other yet!  However, if you click on that, you'll be able to see the quilting better...
*sigh*

See you all Friday!


P.S.  If you know Barb over at Bejwelled Quilts by Barb and are of the praying/sending good thoughts to the Universe or whatever your ethos is - spare a thought for her and her family - post Tsunami.  I don't expect to hear from her for awhile, but am hoping with everything in me that she is alright.  

ETA:  apparently someone has heard from her and she is alright.  Yay!

  1. I looked through comments on Barb's last blog post and someone said that they had heard from her - thank goodness! Maybe we will all hear more soon.
