I have downloaded 4 videos of the creative process involved in making the hanging for my mom’s new digs. Unfortunately my own Blog page is missing some plug-ins to download the videos, but eventually I will get the right plug in. But until that happens , downloading videos on Face Book is much easier. As I have said before I am being hurled into the 21st century kicking and screaming.
Up close of the original design made by my dad for the Darien Curling club
My Mom handed me these 4 patches when I was leaving in May after we took down the Art/quilt show. My Mom had taken the patches off my Dad’s Curling jackets and sweaters. The 3rd patch was the original design my father created for the Darien Curling Club in Connecticut. My dad loved curling and as a child I had gone to the curling club to watch and my dad’s friends taught me card tricks and entertained me while my dad curled.
A Hanging for my Mom's new digs!
This small hanging is for my mom’s new digs in NC. She said that this move is”a new adventure”, that’s what my dad said right before he died in 2009. I hope this hanging will give my mother happy memories.
close up of the dancers
I sent the Jacket called “Dancing with Life” to my best friend in California. I took more pictures of it, unfortunately I was too lazy and didn’t iron it before I took the pictures…………But it is done and it only took me 6 years to finish it!
Favorite Things-Uptown Coat
Knowing that my best friend has been through such a struggle with cancer, really made my choice of fabric important. When I saw the fabric on line I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.But in my haste I didn’t order enough fabric to do what the pattern called for. But then I didn’t look at the pattern I thought I would use till after I bought the fabric.
Finished garment front view
Then I changed my mind completely and picked a different pattern.In making the jacket , I learned quite a bit and will be able to recreate the look of this jacket with less hassle and brain cramps.
Being a Art quilter and a Bi-polar personality forces me to walk a fine line between manic creation and depressed disorder.
