the pace and scope of studio work

a dash to the finish
just completed a quilt top that has been in process for a very long time- it took 95% of the time to do 5% of the piecing and then the opposite- or 5% of the time to finish up the 95% left to do

a full sized quilt 78 h x 88 w- going to the machine quilter for quilting and then to the "receiver" image capture after it returns from the quilter

then on to the next request and another quilt top, with a deadline that will make the turn-around a necessity- and it too will go the machine quilter

there is a quilt on the frame right now but it languishes while a lot of piecing takes place- this the the pace and scope of current work

more time in front of the sewing machine and pinning and ironing and time to think at intervals about the work and the quilts that slowly spill out of the studio and ones not yet made

more fabric coming in all the time-

studio swatches
