Here's just a wee bit of the BT3 project. I really love the little 30s repro print with the circus animals. I just saw an actual antique quilt that used a blue/white combo of this print from the original printing. Wow ... we are in such a fortunate time to be fabric shoppers. There are so many options out there to satisfy anyone's taste level or interests.
The above section is my first attempt at the crazy quilting stitches. The double herringbone was fun, and I didn't even realize that it was a real pattern while I was stitching. I just thought that the double X's would be interesting. I think that after I finish the softie that I may have to try my hand at making a crazy quilt.
Now to other news ... first of all, a BIG thank you to everyone who's been wishing my Dad good luck in his recovery! It certainly means a lot to me. Dad's still in the ICU, but he's doing much better. I'm hoping that he'll be discharged next week sometime. I'm also in the middle of more freelance work for my client, which is always a good thing. I really enjoy designing ... it's a wonderful feeling to see your designs go from 2-D sketch to an actual live 3-D swimsuit. Of course, the best thing is walking on the beach and seeing them on real live people!
