Here is the next customer quilt that I'm working on. It belongs to my friend Rena Brinker. It is a crossword puzzle filled in with the names of her family, & things special to her life. She made it for her husband. She told me to do whatever I felt like, & not to go too crazy with the heavy quilting.( Like my sister said in the comments on the last post, I do like to quilt heavily, And Shirley told me I need to raise my rates!)
Rena said "have fun!"
I've got a black to white King Tut variegated, & I am doing sort of a chain of olives for the border.
I asked Rena if she would like for me to scatter a few naked lady silhouettes here & there, just for the fun of it, & she thought is was a great idea. So here's the first one. I sketched her out on freezer paper then pinned her to the quilt & quilted around her in red #12 wgt. cotton.
Here's how she looked done. It's subtle against all the prints, but fun!
For the rest of the quilting I'm just doing simple loops. So far it seems to be going well!
